Clue # 2 for March:
I'm hiding in zone 2
And waiting for you,
Where people can run
Or just enjoy the sun.

Kudos, to the Lyle High students who climbed the big hill to straighten and re-paint "LYLE"! Do you know the history of how it was built? This was an initiation project by the freshmen and sophomore classes in the mid '50s. The original sign was the brainchild of this reporter, (Barbara), to instill pride in my school and community. So, along with many others, I always look up with pride to see "LYLE" on the hill!
Lyle History: As published in The Enterprise, July 6, 1967.
Lyle Pioneer History continued, as recounted by Jesse A Jewell: "A nice little old lady arrived here at the local post office fresh from the East. This was all so new to her, names, Indian terms and all that to get used to. She was asked how she got here? Her answer got many a chuckle, it was, "Oh I just rode in on a coyote". The term used was, "Cayuse," but is was all Indian or Greek to her. There were many bands of wild horses running on the range in 1800s, they were called the Indian Cayuse by all the early timers. They had been crossed with the Kentucky that had been imported with the first settlers."
What a difference 100 years makes. Here are some U.S. statistics for 1902. The maximum speed limit in most cities was 10 miles per hour.
