Cold Spring
Between 1866 and 1875, William A. Wright had a camp at Cold Spring. He had a fireplace and a lean-to when he was riding and looking after cattle for Charles F. Hammond on the Camp Creek Ranch now known as the De Soza Ranch.
Forty years ago or more, pieces of the tumbled down lean-to was still there. The pile of rocks which was once his fire place can still be seen a few feet from Cold Spring, where my homestead is now located.
Wright also at one time camped some little distance northwest of Cold Spring among some little pine trees. This was an open camp with his bed in between some trees a few feet from his camp-fire. One morning when he got out of bed to start a fire and prepare breakfast, he found grizzly bear tracks in the ashes of the fire he had the evening before about thirty feet from his bed.
