South Fork

Ken Lunders

The Kings River was very high and flowing fast. Signs were everywhere in campgrounds and parking areas by trailheads warning not to attempt swimming in it. Clouds always seemed to hug the ridge tops around the canyon, though they were not a storm threat during our stay.

We were threatend, however, by some young children rolling boulders down the hill that borders a portion of the river trail. They didn't know we were down below them, and couldn't hear me yell. I found their parents after climbing up a safer area and searching for them in the adjacent campground. They were surprised, and said they had warned the kids (a boy and a girl) not to do that. I assume the kids got a stern talking to, if not restrictions or a spanking. All part of growing up...
