Sheep Camp at Baby Wagon in 1916. Wash day in camp with Mrs. Cora Robbins, Mrs. Jesse Schoonover and Mr. Adelbert Robbins 1916.
From the diary of Addie Schoonover Baumgartner...
"I don't remember Mother fishing at Baby Wagon - she was busy cooking - doing laundry and just relaxing. I remember we always went to Meadowlark lake one day so my dad could fish there. We took a picnic lunch. When the day came to come back to the ranch we would have a wash tub of fish to take home. We would stop at Powder River Pass - there was always a snow drift there. We would pack the fish in snow for the trip. When we got home my dad made the rounds of the neighbors and gave them all fish. Before the trip to baby Wagon Ray and I dug lots of worms and caught lots of grasshoppers to use for bait. There are so many memories of Baby Wagon all through my life."
