At Cherokee Creek the road ends. You step out of your car . ready to stretch and take in a big lung-full of that fine mountain air. But* you don’t because the air lis filled with lddy-bugs on the wing. Never have I seen such a phenomena of insect life. In this secluded spot beside running water, tree trunks, stumps, and mossy rocks were covered solid red with lady-bugs and the air was so thick with them that you breathed with caution. ~ ; But “Lady-Bug Glen” is fortunately a very restricted area and we soon found a point. of flat rocks which jutted into the Yuba, an ideal -picnic spot. As we ate, Dow and I speculated on a life-raft excursion down the Yuba to Bullards Bar: reservoir and inspected the nearby rapids with more bravado than good sense. It still sounds like a thrilling experiment in adventure. Does anybody in the audience know the history of rapids-running on this stream? Hiking down a good trail, we found the ancient rock-piles of Herculean gravel-washing effort. On the map the place is marked Cut-Eye Foster’s Bar. What can the historians tell us about this place? Dad paused beside a fernfilled grotti and breathed “If you had nothing to do but sit and dream this would be heaven.” Maybe that’s what we are looking for: places where we can sit and dream. The world has so few of those places left. And even when. we see them for a fleeting moment, they become pleasant memories to store away when “civilized” life becomes frustration and boredom.
