Show ed into the deep recesses until their lamps would not burn any longer. The bottom was never found. Suffice it to say that none of us kids wanted anything to do with going down into its dark innards. Strange tales emulated from the lips of those who did. Durst Mountain figured in the local minor cattle and sheep wars, or I should call them skirmishes. A self respecting cow would not even tread upon land a (stinkin' sheep) had passed over...let alone graze upon the poluted grass. This attitude brought many angry words as the sheep herds took over. Event¬ually range cattle ranchers turned to dairy farming, hoping 'those !**! sheep' would stay clear of the close-in pastures. They didn't always do that. No doubt most of us kids grew up in Mountain Green thinking that cottonwood trees were about the only tree in the whole world, so profuse were they along the stream that bore their name. Mammoth trees shed their seed-bearing cotton each Spring and well into sunnier- time. These magnificant trees were good for little else than winter firewood. The Creek was just right, flowing over rock filled plateaus, giving good dra¬inage when needed, and ample water when the Spring buds were swelling. Actually, the cottonwood tree is fairly scarce the world over. Then too, the Creek that made than possible also furnished fun and sustainance for those who liv¬ed along its banks. During April and May the stream was a wild torrent, sometimes claiming the lives of hapless animals and even endangering the lives of school kids on their way to catch the school bus. Oft times trees were uprooted and large boulders could be heard forming new channels for the water. Much of this water headed out of Arbuckle Canyon east of Durst Mountain joining further along with water from the Elk Mountain area. There were years when fishing in the upper reaches of Cottonwood Creek was especially good. Flapping trout were often caught in alfalfa fields or along irr¬igation ditches in potato Stories of filling gunny sacks with native trout were and still are being told. It was a fisherman's paradise. In later years the Creek just dried up, probably the result of poor range land management. --Wallace A. Parrish 56 |
