Why the Lost Valley History section exists:
"I think a camp history should be written because people are wondering about what happened.... Anytime you get two or more people together you’ll get more than one answer to what happened. You can have a group of people look at the same subject and yet every one of them will have a different opinion of what they looked at.
Some time we’re going to be sorry if we don’t put this stuff down. If you don’t, you’ll have a bunch of us older fellows pass on and you’ll have no place to pick up your information. Then you’ll have everything muddled up with different versions."
- Howard Bear, original chairman of Lost Valley Development Committee, 1959.
