The
time has come to fess up and tell the truth! I’m not a good liar, so maybe you
have already figured it out. Here are my facts and the fib revealed!

I’m the daughter of a history/social studies teacher. Every summer we traveled
around the U.S. However, we only made it to 41 states by the time I was 17. So
this is the FIB!

boyfriend, his brother and I decided to take a short cut while hiking with a
group. When we did not end up where we thought we would, we began to follow a
creek descending in elevation. It was NOT a good idea. Our hike included a lot
of “bouldering” or climbing over HUGE boulders. Nightfall arrived and found us
on the shore of a lake. Something scary sounding growled in the middle of the
night as we huddled on a rock outcropping. The next morning, we flagged down a
boater who ferried us to the other side. Next thing I knew, we were whisked
into a California Highway Patrol (CHP) helicopter. My friends were concerned
about who would pay the bill. I was too exhausted to care. And no, we did not have to pay anything-which is a good thing since I had nothing to pay with!

For two summers, I worked at Greenhorn Creek Guest Ranch, a “dude” ranch near my hometown in Plumas County,
California. Cary Grant was part-owner. We knew he was coming for a particular
week and brought his wife Barbara and his daughter Jennifer. He was VERY nice
and I found him to be quite soft-spoken. I made “points” with him one day, when
he asked me to
find him a radio so he could listen to the Dodgers game. I also remember when his
daughter tried chewing tobacco. She ran and hid in my office hoping to escape
discovery. Such memories!

That is so cool about Cary Grant! How miserable to be stuck out in the wild with weird noises. I would have been a basket case!
