It all came to an end one day when my mom got curious as to what exactly The Fifty Feet was, and screamed when she saw us swinging on the tree rope out over the treacherous heights of the pit. It was a wild place, and I remember it more fondly than the safe city playgrounds (where my sister broke her arm falling off a slide). Wild places are important.

Now, fishing is not a common activity in the Walden Hills subdivision in Murray, but he told me he had found a secret fishing hole. He took me down the street, out of the houses, under the power lines and into a vacant field that Im sure will someday hold the next vital strip when the sun causes brain cells to soften. But I was glad Jared had his fishing hole. Every now and then, its good to stop and sit on a rock. Its good to wade in pools that dont have cement bottoms. Its good to get calluses on your hands from swinging from a rope. Its a hard world out there, and there are many dangers. Parents are more careful, and they should be. But what a pity so many of our kids will have no memories of some place theyve discovered all by themselves. A place theyve secretly owned. A place thats as carefree and reckless and wild as they are. uiank 0 would like to thank the following businessespeople for sponsoring me in Utahs Homecoming Queen State Finals. appreciate your support which made this experience possible.
