Illinois Valley News
Young’s Valley
Young’s Valley nestles right in
the very Heart of the “Illinois Alps,”
the prettiest cluster of peaks in the
entire Siskiyous. Among the prominent
mountains of the group that attracts
the intense admiration of all who pass
through Illinois Valley from the north,
are Haystack Mount, Sanger Peak,
Young’s Peak, El Capitan, Copper
Peak and presiding majestically over
the whole group, Preston Peak, highest
mountain in our part of the Siskiyous
and 4th highest in the whole Siskiyou
range, reaching to a height of 7,310 feet
above sea level, and bearing perpetual
snow.
Young’s Valley is a pretty spot
in its own right, with lovely camping
sites, good pure water, abundant fuel
– and typical wildflowers blooming
throughout the spring and summer
months; but the principal feature that
makes this high little valley a priceless
retreat for all who admire nature at its
awesome best is the panorama of great
peaks that entirely surround it.
I have paid probably 50 visits to
Young’s Valley in the 36 years I have
lived in the shadow of its surrounding
peaks, botanizing the country all-
around, camping for days at a time
in the valley, where I always make
my base camp. No other spot in our
mountains has so great an attraction for
me. For a good many years I have been
able to drive right into the valley, but
last summer, after the big storms of the
preceding winter, I had to walk-in from
Sanger Lake, a distance of 5 or 6 miles,
the road being a complete wreck.
During the fourth of July holiday
I decided to go up and see whether
or how near I could drive to Young’s
Valley, having made no inquiries about
the road.
We packed a picnic lunch, my
botanically inquisitive friend and I, and
took off up Bearcamp Ridge in the jeep.
We intended to get into Bear Meadow,
only a couple of miles from Young’s
Valley, even if we had to walk a few
miles. Some very special wild plants
grow in Bear Meadow, such as the
dwarf Peck’s Phacelia and the miniature
dogwood, Bunch berry.
To my great and pleasant surprise
we found the road open clear into
Young’s Valley and beyond as far as
Bell Echo campground, and in the best
condition I have ever seen it. Others
had made the discovery before we did –
half a dozen camps were set up in there,
holiday explorers out enjoying some of
our very best mountain scenery.
In Bear Meadows we found and
photographed a pure white Alpine
Shooting-star, the first and only one
I’ve ever seen. We also found that a
huge bear that must have been as big as
an Alaskan brownie has lived in there.
On the verge of starvation by the
time we reached Young’s Valley, we
ate our scrumptious picnic lunch there.
Then we drove on to see how far the
newly improved road went. It ended in
Bell Echo. A Crescent City physician
was camped here whom I’d met farther
up on the Raspberry trail five years ago.
After powwowing for a few minutes,
each wondering,“Where have I seen this
bloke before?” We both finally recalled
the first meeting.
We spent 2 or 3 pleasant hours in
Young’s Valley and hiked down the
Clear Creek trail to prowl a couple of
small grassy meadows a short distance
below the valley, poking and prying
into the private lives of the wildflowers
to see if we could discover any startling
new facts hidden there.
Finally the time came to head
home. I caught my companion setting
her watch back a couple of hours, but
the honest old sun said it was time to
go, and we reluctantly departed the
little mountain valley.
Our fourth of July celebration, we
both agreed, had been a pleasant one.
And Frieda allowed it would have been
a safe and sane one if she’d been doing
the driving.

Celiac disease-part 2
CHICKEN WALDORf SALAD
Celiac disease is not uncommon, about 1 person in every
133 people in the U.S. has it ( around 2 million people). It is
hereditary and tends to run in families. In people with a close
family member who has celiac disease the chances of getting
it are 1 in 22. Other risk factors include chronic diarrhea,
irritable bowel syndrome, colitis, type 1 diabetes, autoim-
mune thyroid disease, premature bone disease or infertility.
Stress can be an important contributor. Diagnosis is based on
symptoms, lab tests and endoscopy - a procedure in which the
physician views the small intestine and takes a small tissue
sample (biopsy).
Celiac disease can be difficult to diagnose because it affects
people differently. Some people have no symptoms at all, but
are still at risk for long-term complications. Adults are less
likely to have digestive symptoms and are more likely to have
things like unexplained iron-deficiency anemia, bone or joint
pain, depression or anxiety, tingling in the hands and feet,
seizures, migraines, or canker sores inside the mouth.
Currently, the only treatment for celiac disease is lifelong
adherence to a strict gluten-free diet. Eating even a small
amount if gluten can cause problems. Once gluten is com-
pletely removed from the diet, inflammation generally begins

to lessen within weeks. Besides completely avoiding wheat,
barley, rye, and oats, one must read labels carefully because
gluten can turn up where you don’t expect it: in cold cuts,
soups, candies, and even soy sauce. Be aware of ingredients
such as starch, modified food starch, hydrolyzed vegetable
protein (HVP), hydrolyzed plant protein (HPP), texturized
vegetable protein (TVP), binders, fillers, excipients, extend-
ers, malt, and natural flavorings, all of which may indicate the
presence of gluten. Complete healing may take several months
to several years. Following a gluten-free diet also helps pre-
vent future complications. Some people experience no signs
or symptoms after eating gluten, but this doesn’t mean it’s not
harmful. Remember, even trace amounts of gluten in your diet
can be damaging, whether or not they cause signs or symp-
toms. Some people with severe damage to their intestines
may require IV nutrition supplementation. Others may require
steroids to control inflammation.
We hear and read so much about opioid abuse and addic-
tion About the same number of Americans who abuse or are
dependent on opioid drugs suffer from celiac disease.
