Santa Anita Canyon, about 1935. Gene Velzy had a cabin up in the canyon and Glen Velzy and I went up, with some other fellows to open the trout season. It was the spring after the big flood in the canyon. We had to hike in from below the dam. 1. The Santa Anita canyon dam from the trail above it. 2. A resort. Can't tell now whether First Water or Hoegee Camp. 3. The stream in the canyon. The flood ma [sic] made a new channel and it ran right thru the trees. 4. A dandy pool in the big rocks.
