I know the bears were in the government camp a lot because of the dump. Were they down at Annie Springs at all?
Because of the garbage at Government Camp. (OH).
Do you know where the Lady of the Woods is? Well, the garbage dump was awfully close to that place. It’s probably been covered up so long that you couldn’t detect it. It was a good thing to get rid of. (AH)
I hadn’t heard of that being a dump before.
As a mater of fact, I thin it was just to the south and a little bit more to the west from where that lady of the rock is. (AH)
I know at one time they had tents near where the maintenance yard is now, but I hadn’t heard about a dump.
You see, they built that stuff across the creek since we were there in camp. They put that big building in there where you drive around. We drove around in there since and they don’t look like the same country. It changes everything when they start leveling off for building and put houses up in the trees. (AH)
I know that the Army built a lot of those buildings and then left after they finished the road.
Those buildings that we were in were some of the original ones. (AH)
Those bears, they got to be pretty tame. Billy Van Camp fed them an awful lot of Karo syrup that the government paid for. If they knew how much he paid for Karo syrup through the groceries, I suppose they’d call that embezzlement, wouldn’t they. (OH)
Diversion of funds…
That’s probably what part of the national debt is. There’s a German brown trout that I caught down at the boat landings where the trail used to go down on the south side of the lake, before they moved it around by the Wineglass. I gave that to Mr. Childers and his family. He carried that up the trail and everybody commented to him on what a nice fish he caught down there. Then he have to explain that I caught it and gave it to him and all that, one after another. It just about wore the fish out getting up that trail, I guess. (OH)
