In all her splendor

As the adage states, at the end of a rainbow is a pot of gold, which we call the “Hill.” To the wonderment of residents and visitors, a double rainbow appeared over the skies of Idyllwild, arcing over the town’s monument at left, peaking over Tahquitz Rock and disappearing into the mountains at far right on Friday, Sept. 30.

Childhood summers at camp

I was lucky to attend camp in the Idyllwild area during the years from 1967 through 1972. Camp Roosevelt was nestled about seven miles from Idyllwild in Garner Valley located right next to the Hurkey Creek campground. I was 10 ½ when I began attending the camp, which had been in existence for over 30 years. It was then owned and managed by Dan Slater. It was a co-ed camp that my brother Steve and I attended during the 60’s counter-cultural revolution. We had hippies as counselors and no parents at the camp, and seldom on parents’ weekend. It was an overnight camp where you could stay from three to eight weeks.
