Lakeview 5/21/95

We see this

poem while walking

along.  "Once in body

now in spirit placed

here by those

who loved them

dearly."  We expect

ashes were

scattered there

then we leave.

Hermit Trail 4/28/95

My class is tramping
down the trail we
make it down but
the other classes don't
we sing a victory
song although it
was not a contest.
We tramp back
up with the
sticky sweat dripping
down our faces
and backs.  Us stopping
to rest every
minute it seems.
Finally we make
it and all klank
out and all klonk
out

H. S. Canyon 4/15/95

You probably don't

know what H.S.

means.  Well I sure

do.  It means

hidden secrets.  The

secrets it holds.

And the beauty.

That's what it

means

Red Rock State Park 3/18/95

I know why

they call it Red

Rock State Park,

so does the 

bee and the hawk

the fly and the

trout and the

frog and the

deer.  Why?  When 

the rain splashes

down upon the 

dry cracked earth

animals are forced

into the water and

killed on the

jagged rock, their 

blood flows

out into the water.

When the water

rises the blood

of the animals

stains the rocks

and then the 

water slowly

goes down.
