- Returning from Yallo Bally we stopped at Jack Foster's ranch. J.F. is a character. Lives between Bill Williams Fork & Round Valley, not far from the valley proper. We asked him why he didn't go to the Klondike: "I went to White Pine with two black mules and _300.00 in my pocket and I came home with my fingers in my ass and my blankets on my back and cussing every step of the way"! See p. 108.
