Along with her husband, she has served on established camp staff the past six years. "Because of their willingness to listen even to the tiniest problem or question, the couple has come to be known as 'grandpa and grandma.' Because she wanted to explore creeks in her area, she bought a canoe, rigged an apparatus atop her car to transport it, and did so. -The Hamilton Pilot, March 1, 1973, page 7.

The hike to Cedar Glen
Colleen Kellogg and Elizabeth Halfyard
note: Cedar Glen is south of Hamilton, When you hike down the RR tracks you will first come to Crystal Glen which is interesting in its own right. Cedar Glen is no longer accessible to the casual public but is now an integrated part of the Kibbe Life Science Station, with controlled limited public access.
