Uncle Awbrey's "Red River"

Uncle Awbrey had a cabin at Red River, New Mexico. I think it was Red River. Nikki or Karen might correct this if I am wrong. Anyway we visited them at the cabin when I was maybe 12. The day we arrived, it was late in the day and I had to go to the bathroom. The cabin wasn't completed yet, no indoor plumbing. Nikki told me to follow the road signs. I wasn't certain what she meant but I was used to the pasture so I started up the trail looking for a good tree. Then I realized the "road signs". There were miniature signs cut and labeled appropriately, you know, yield signs cut in a triangle etc.... The signs directed me to a latrine behind a large tree, anyway I felt better going down the trail than I felt going up the trail. dad woke me early the next morning and we went hiking looking for deer. We saw a doe with a fawn that morning, really pretty. It was a nice visit.
