[00:00.81]It was hot in the valley,

[00:02.44]hotter still in San Bernadino,

[00:04.46]and it was still hot at five thousand feet,

[00:06.95]fifteen miles up

[00:07.79]the high-gear road to Puma 1 Lake.

[00:10.44]I had done forty of the fifty miles of curving

[00:12.99]twisting highway before it started to cool off,

[00:15.89]but it didn't really get cool

[00:17.67]until I reached the dam and started

[00:19.38]along the south shore of the lake

[00:21.32]past the piled-up granite 2 boulders 3

[00:23.31]and the sprawled 4 camps in the flats beyond.

[00:26.24]It was early evening

[00:27.36]when I reached Puma Point and

[00:29.08]I was as empty as a gutted 5 fish.


[00:32.39]The Indian Head Hotel was a brown

[00:34.17]building on corner,opposite a dance hall.

[00:37.02]I registered,carried my suitcase upstairs

[00:40.85]hard-looking room with an oval rug

[00:42.23]on the floor,a double bed in the corner,

[00:45.09]and nothing on the bare pine wall

[00:46.73]but a hardware-store calendar all curled up

[00:49.42]from the dry mountain summer.

[00:51.39]I washed my face and hands

[00:52.61]and went downstairs to eat...

[00:54.98]I gobbled down what they called

[00:56.79]the regular dinner,

[00:58.41]drank a brandy to sit on it,

[00:59.79]and went out...

[01:02.00]The phone office was a log cabin,

[01:04.20]and there was a booth in the corner

[01:05.66]with a coin-in-the-slot telephone.

[01:07.92]I shut myself inside and dropped my nickel

[01:10.20]and dialed 2306.A woman's voice answered.
