Murray +. Bemis of Phoenix, Ariz,
writes OF a camping experience as fol-
lows: 1--WE went up to Camp creek on
Tuesday, Aug IL. Got in late in the
afternoon. Found very desirable
camping place apparently 10 = feet
above the dry creek bed, nice level
spot of ground with two big sycamore
trees two and one half feet through
on the bank between us and the creek.
Put up our tent and covered the auto
mobile with canvas, beside the cur
tains, TO make it tighter than the tent,
and used it for storehouse to keep
our food, clothes, cameras, etc, in. We
had a little rain Friday night and the
creek came 20 three or four feet, as |
have seen il before, but nothing to
worry about. Saturday night 1t rained
little more and Sunday the creek
came up about like Friday, and then
on top of that was another rise with
out any warning, that swept out the
two big sycamores and at least 10 feet
OF the creek bank, taking the car and
cutting off the lower rows of the tent
pegs. As soon as we could, We got out
of the tent, but had no time to save
the car or hardly anything in it. There
wasn't much time with the bank cav
ing off and the big trees going down,
rocks and boulders grinding, etc, The
tent caved over toward higher ground,
so we pulled that up and the cots and
bedding with it. The car was carried
about half mile down stream and
was practically buried under boulders.
Considering the narrow escape and the
chances we took to Ut what we did
save, we have not felt like taking the
loss as hard as we might have under
other circumstances. We came through
without colds: in fact, except for the
nerve strain, we are all right and home
never looked so good before" This was
the occasion when the Arizona state
House was flooded. Aug. p and p
