A fragmented reminiscence from Freianis Missouri dated May 2 1884 details Jost war recounting a camping trip, illness and misadventures with friends including a note about Baldy and rough idling.

The article extols spring as a time for youths especially girls to hike the countryside in pursuit of wild flowers. It highlights the invigorating Talmy spring breeze, budding trees, singing birds, and bright sunshine that buoy life, noting children often return with violets and other finds, or just with fond memories of a fun outing and a reminder of mortality and renewal.
