Child of the Wilderness: A Wilderness Honeymoon by Alan Swope Jimmy and Teresa had been married a little more than a year but hadn't been able to go on a honeymoon they were new at their jobs so they decided to wait till they got their first vacation. Jimmy wanted to take Teresa to visit his Lakota friends then go up to his valley and show her how beautiful it was, Teresa thought that was a bad idea as did his Indian friends they said it was too dangerous. The other reason was to bring back the horse they gave him so for this reason Teresa gave in and said she would go up to his valley. It would take two days to hike up the mountain, the first night of camping out a rain storm blew in and it was a down pour, the water rushed down off the mountain and they had to run for their lives. The afternoon of the second day they reached his valley, Teresa commented on how beautiful it was, as they walked to where they would set up camp he pointed out different things, they were quite a ways from the tree line as they walked by the cave where he used to live he saw several wolves in the trees staring at them so now he knew they saw them. He had hoped he would be able to get Teresa out of there before they came snooping around but that didn't happen.
