After crossing the Smoky Hill River, I felt comparatively safe as this was the last stream I had to cross.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
How to get over the river was the bother. At last, after thinking a heap about it, I came to the conclusion that I always did: that the boldest plan is the best and safest.
I used to fish the Border rivers, but nowadays you have to queue up for a shot and I can't stand that.
The river is constantly turning and bending and you never know where it's going to go and where you'll wind up. Following the bend in the river and staying on your own path means that you are on the right track. Don't let anyone deter you from that.
I've never been far from the river. I'm sort of like a Thames-nymph.
I was accustomed to being in far, far riskier environments. So I thought going into that canyon was a walk in the park - there were no avalanches, it was a beautiful day and I was essentially just walking.
The river Trent is lovely, I know because I have walked on it for 18 years.
I once paddled a canoe the length of the Mississippi River all the way from Itasca to New Orleans.
New York is the first place I have ever felt safe.
Don't swap horses in crossing a stream.
It was considered the most dangerous route in the Hills, but as my reputation as a rider and quick shot was well known, I was molested very little, for the toll gatherers looked on me as being a good fellow, and they knew that I never missed my mark.
