Camp Mayaro


You may not be able to read this and it is sideways.  Somewhere around 1969, I decided to start a kid's camp in the Feather River Canyon above Oroville.  I had no money, but that never stopped me before.  I met a man who owned an old resort with a bunch of cabins, an eating hall, other buildings, etc.  He was willing to rent the place to me cheap.  So off we went.  I put an ad in the San Francisco Chronicle and who would have believed, 5 kids registered.  All high school age.  That whole experience is material for another book, but this is a sort of first writing of which I assume eventually became a brochure.
