Mr. Fudge's article on the Dug Hill brought to mind an event relating to the Dug Hill that happened in my youth.

A group of Fairplay Community men were on a Saturday night toot. Sometime during the night their car left the road and plunged over the side of the Dug Hill. Luckily, a strategically placed small tree stopped the car and no one was hurt. The wreck was the principal subject of discussion at my father's country store for several days. During the discussions someone observed solemnly, " Well, the Lord was shore with them boys". Someone else quickly added from behind the coal stove, "Well, maybe so but He better ride with somebody else, them fellers gonna get Him hurt". --Dave Rosenbaum
