Peterson's Slide

"We’d go fishing down PETERSON’s SLIDE.  I remember the smell of the river, it smelt so good..  I loved the smell.  After the dam was put in, I remember running down the hill, the river never quite smelled the same.  I missed that smell, it seemed to flow slower.  I’d always miss that wild smell when we’d go fishing."

"Just drive up the highway towards Victor about a 1 to  1 1/2 miles. You’ll see Kopp’s house on right another farm on left, before you get by those there is a dirt lane. Go up the hill; there’s the old school on left, follow till you have to turn left, our home was right there on right. (nothing there now). Follow road soon on the left will be Bud Campbell’s farm. Keep on that road veering right, dusty road you’ll end up at Peterson’s slide." -Fawnell Fisher Blankenship
