My ancestors name was Judson Clark. He volunteered for the Civil war in 1862 and was placed into Company "D" of the 1st Colorado Cavalry for a 3 year term. Now Civil War history buffs might recognize the 1st Colorado as Chivington's Unit... the Unit that is known for the Sand Creek Massacre in 1864.

The head of Comanpy "D" was a Captain Soule. He was an honourble man and along with one other Captain, refused to take part in Sand Creek. He told his men they would not fire upon the Natives. For this he faced court martial. Afterwards he even testified against Chivington and for this he faced death threats. In fact, in 1865, Captain Soule was shot and killed by a Cavalryman who was at Sand Creek (A member of the 2nd Colorado). A friend of Soules chased the man into New Mexico and brought him to justice, only for the murderer to escape and was never caught again. The friend of Soule's was then found poisoned to death shortly afterwards.

Judson Clark after being released went into the Black Hills, Wyoming and disappeared with a group of others looking for gold in 1869. The interesting part though was out of the 5 guys, one guy crawled out and said they were attacked by Indians. The bodies of the rest were recovered except for Judson Clark which was never found.

That's fascinating! So did Judson spend the majority of the war on the western front?

So I found this trail that overlooks the Fraser River. Really nice view... but spotted something I never seen before. On a small rock island in the middle of the river was an old cabin! I have no idea how someone would get over there, maybe there was a bridge at one time.

Zooming in a little


Look at that rock fireplace


Driving out to the ranch I have to cross the Rudy Johnson Bridge pictured below


Going across the bridge and looking down river you can see the small rock island the cabin is on

Bought a storage locker that hadn't been opened in 10 years and found this inside. Snapped a quick picture of it on the way home

Attended a funeral this morning for Orford Fire Fighter Charles Waterbury who passed during a call last week (medical emergency). Left us far to early in life. Beautiful service and lots of support from all.  A reminder to all out there to take time to enjoy your families and yourselves when the opportunities present themselves. I didn't know him well but he served the department of our neighboring town and I have several friends that served beside him.     RIP Charles
