Letter from Abbott Fay
Code of the West – April 2000 – Colorado Central Magazine
Ed and Martha:
There was a sort of Code of the West.
1) Leave cabins unlocked and stocked with food. Recipient is bound to clean up and eventually re-stock.
2) Never take a pair of skis or snowshoes left at a trailhead in case someone needs to reach campers or workers. It’s like stealing a horse.
