H. Sheep Hill
Kevin Sherer: [KEVIN] This must have been the hill where he was on Billy Bowl Legs. Because these trees weren't there, I remember that photo.
Roy Cook: Does this road go back out into the other road?
Kevin Sherer: [KEVIN] No, 1 think it just dead ends up here a little ways. Well, 1 thought it was Sheep Hill is what they called it, up here and to the left a little bit more Kevin.
Kevin Sherer: [KEVIN] Well, if nothing else, we're getting close to the Nazi village.
Roy Cook: Well see my mother's folks were all German. But she's never. . . of course that was way before.
Bob Zybach: How about your dad's folks? 1 never got any genealogy on them, it's up here to the left.

Bob Zybach: Oh, lots of it.
Roy Cook: Is there?
Bob Zybach: Yep. What do you know about zeolyte?
Roy Cook: Which type is it?

Roy Cook: Fibrous? Naturelite, huh?
Kevin Sherer: [KEVIN] Huh? Yeah.
Roy Cook: Naturelite?
Kevin Sherer: [KEVIN] Yeah.
Roy Cook: Yeah, well that'd be up near basaltic rock.
Kevin Sherer: [KEVIN] Yep.
Roy Cook: Yeah, there's a lot of that up around Ritter.
Bob Zybach: Okay, right up here on the corner is where we wanted to stop here.
Roy Cook: Right here?
Bob Zybach: Yeah.
Roy Cook: Okay.
Bob Zybach: Now we're up here looking down the valley, and 1 think we're. . . it doesn't look pretty much the same then?
Roy Cook: Well, no, I mean, look at there?
Bob Zybach: Yeah.
Roy Cook: Sheep. Dang you sucker.
Bob Zybach: They had a lot of those here when your mom was growing up.
Roy Cook: (Whistles) Come on.
Bob Zybach: You don't remember anything particular about this area.
Roy Cook: They were just fields down in there.
Bob Zybach: Okay, was this fence up in here, or did people live up in here?
