<TITLE>13. Par 158-170</TITLE>L-158   And then, from then on, six hundred miles, the way the crow flies, there's not even a path or a trail. And when you hit the West Coast, you go about eight hundred miles to Vancouver, there's not even a speck of civilization. And the next civilizations, going this way, is Anchorage, about seven or eight hundred miles. Go back this way, you run into the little city, Yellow Knife, where you get a ship in there once a year for the Eskimos. And, next, you hit Russia. So, you're really to yourself. That's where God can take His rest, up there, from all of our troubles and trials that we put Him into. So I like to go up there and talk to Him when He's resting, you see, so then when like it was last night on the--on the ship.

L-159   So when we went back down, and the next morning we started early. Along about eight o'clock, we had wound through shintangle and everything, till we got to the top of the hill. And on the road up, here went an old cow caribou, and a nice-size bull. He went, started up the hill, and big panels on him. And I said, "Well, and so there is the first caribou I ever seen in the woods, wild. I've never been this high before."
He said, "Yeah. That's a caribou."

L-160 So we went on up the hill and looked. The sheep wasn't there. So Bud and I walked around. And Eddie started slipping around, and Blaine, his boy, looking around for game.

L-161 And we walked over here, and, oh, my, I just screamed out, "Glory to God!" I looked down there, and there was them big snow-peaked mountains; yellow caribou moss below the snow. And just below that come in the evergreen, which was the pygmy spruce. And got a little farther down, there was the buck brush, red. A little further that, was the quaking aspen, yellow. All reflecting in the lake down below it. Oh, my!

L-162   Bud and I just put our arms around one another, and just danced a little jig around there, just screaming and shouting, and praising God. And we set down with our arms around one another, and just praised God. And had a wonderful time, I guess, about two hours.

L-163 And I said, "Say, wonder what become of Eddie?" We called him "the Dude." So, we went back. We started across the hill. I said, "He couldn't get lost up here."

L-164 And said, "No. Blaine is back over there somewhere, and he's an Indian."

L-165 So we looked around, and I seen a movie camera laying there. I said, "That was Eddie's." I looked back down the hill. And I went over this way, and he went the other way.

L-166 And Eddie was going, "Sh-sh-sh-sh." He was stalking that little, bull caribou. And he was going to take him back down, feed him to the Indian friends that he was missionarying to. So, he shot the caribou. We went out and cleaned it out.

L-167   Come back, it's along about one o'clock. We found our saddle horses again, about a half a mile, away where they was standing. And we were standing there. He said, "Brother Branham, you like to walk?"
Said, "I sure do."

L-168 He said, "If we scale this mountain... Them rams went across this way, and went down into that other hole there, maybe. If they didn't, went back this other way." Said, "Let's let Eddie and them go back, and go through this cut down here, and take my saddle horse and your saddle horse, and pack the caribou to the camp. And we'll walk just up through here and hit that place. And we ought to get in about ten or eleven o'clock tonight."
I said, "Fine. We'll do it."

L-169   So, we was standing there. We just eat a can of sardines, apiece, each one of us. And we buried under the moss, this sardines. And our bread, we had in our shirt, and sweated till it was all in one big lump. But it was good, when you're hungry. And it's all right. So, we stood there.

L-170 And I was just looking around. And I looked through the glasses. I said, "Bud, looky here. What is that over there?"
