Story Key: I=Marilyn Ruesch Schneider, Brother=David Arthur ("Art") Ruesch, Father=David Lemar Ruesch, Mother=Lenore McFarlane Ruesch
Our vacations were always planned by my father. We went many, many places in a very short time. The last time I went on a trip with my parents was as a teenagers, I still remember where we went-Las Vegas, Grand Canyon, Zion Park, Bryce, Salt Lake City, Manti, Yosemite and Sequoia Parks all in 5 days time. The only place we hadn't seen before was Yosemite. All of us were looking forward to seeing it. We arrived there and went directly to our cabin. It was a tent cabin. My father did not want to stay in tent cabin so we left Yosemite within 20 minutes after arriving and went on to Sequoia.
On one
trip, we stopped by the side of the road for some reason. There was a very steep embankment with a
little stream at the bottom of it. My brother
and I were thirsty and decide to hike down to the stream. We started out just fine, but got going
faster and faster. Then we rolled and
couldn't stop. And couldn't get back up
the hill. My dad had to come down and
help us back up the hill.
We went
for several years to Camp Radford, a summer family camp run by the Los Angles
PTS (my mother was a big deal in the 10th district PTA). We rode horses, hiked and did crafts-leather
and gimp, especially (Ask me and I'll teach you how to make something out of
Gimp). A few years ago, I passed by Camp
Radford. It is in a beautiful
area-Barton Flats of the San Bernardino Mountains.
