Many many times. Our favorite place to sleep during the summer was out under a large grape arbor that we had in the yard and we didn't use a tent. The only problem was usually just before dark when the mosquitoes were the worst. It was always cooler out there though than in the upstairs bedrooms where we slept so it was worth battling the bugs. We also lived out on the farm with no yard lights so the milky way was always so easy to see and the stars were so bright. It was always easy to see the big dipper that was my favorite constellation in the sky. It was also never a challenge to find the little dipper and the North Star. I have always loved sleeping out under the stars.

Describe a place you liked to be alone.
There were a number of places where I liked to go to be alone. One of them was on the back of a horse riding around the lower part of our farm and upon to the hill. I would sometimes also walk there as it took quite awhile to reach one of my favorite places. There was an old homestead up just below where the Duchesne airport was located. None of the buildings still stood but the foundation of the old home was still there. I don't know why it fascinated me so much but it was a place where I often went. Just below it and to the left was the start of a draw that had a lot of fossils in the rocks. It was fun to go there as well and search for new ones that I hadn't already located. That was also the area where I would go rabbit hunting with Don but the times I was there alone was a lot of fun.
