A Fall Adventure with Wes and Ovidia Schneider
Posted by Vickie Metcalfe (70): Bottineau, ND
Wes and Ovidia Schneider and I ventured on a November drive on Saturday last. I drove slowly enjoying the company of my friends.
The morning began as an overcast dreary cloudy fall day. But we were of good cheer traveling about 12 miles East on Highway #5, we turned North on the Willow Lake Road and drove to the site of the 2nd Peter Schneider (the Elder) Farm.
Wes recalls moving to that site when he was a young lad, after his father moved a house from SE of Dunseith with a tractor in a matter of days.
Wes showed us the farm site, where the former Deer Hear Lodge was once located .
Traveling back South and East on the well used, dusty washboard of Old Highway #5 Wes pointed out the long ago farm sites of Dave (2)& Winnifred Eurich, Hank & Melvina Schneider , Peter (2) & Sophie.Schneider , and Logan Buchanan. That was so COOL! I had heard of Mr. Buchanan from my Dad who really liked Mr. Buchanan and his birth name Logan!
Over burgers at DALES we furthered plans to continue our Saturday adventure. But first, we made a detour to the Stone Church. It looked so ready for fall with the wreaths and colourful decor.
Leaving Dunseith behind and traveling back on__ New #5__ to Willow Lake Rd we looked for the 1st P. Schneider (the Elder) farm site on old highway #5. We went North, then stopped when we found that 1st farm site. This was the site which the Schneider family settled on on their arrival from Kansas about 100 years ago.
The farm site where Wes was born almost 91 years ago! Over these many years, of course there have been many changes. Changes from the Boguslowskis being neighbors just South across the road. Ahh, the many Boguslowskis who rode Mr. Schneider’s horse drawn school bus , to owned by Charlotte and Adam Lang, to current owners. To new growth of orchards and fields and fences.
Continuing our journey West on Old Highway #5 ,we got to the Bottineau county line road. Wes pointed out the mile long fence line where he fetched fence posts for his big brothers, hmm, was it Sal or Benny or Hank or Pete? With Wes as the navigator we turned the nose of the car North.
UFF DA.
Up and down many steep hills slowly, until Wes pointed out a well used road East.
Driving slowly and enjoying the fall scenery of ponds, stark bare trees, many muskrat houses, which looked tall and pointy covered with cattails.
We saw a gaggle of geese, an ? Emu, and many goats in one yard. Then, Rendahl Church cemetery.
We drove until we got back to the Willow Lake road. And driving South, back to the Schneider Hill where we viewed Lords Lake in the distance sitting in the midst of the vast prairie.
We had come full circle. It was a good adventure amongst the company of fond friends.
