Publiihad {very Thursday at Nyssa, Oregon 97913 Editor, The Journal: After a Mother’s Day outing to Owyhee Dam State Park we were thoroughly disgusted and disappointed in the dry, neg lected condition of the park area. Much time and money has been spent in the past ten years to make this area a place of beauty, and a place for the local people to be proud of. Finding it in such a condition took all the joy out of our outing. The grass on the upper camping area was so dry that the children could not play on it without getting stickers in their feet. The whole park looked as if it had not been irrigated or mowed at all this year. We do not believe this to to be because of the lack of water, as there is plenty of water in the lake. The park and camping area is a disgrace to the local people We got acquainted with some people from the Oregon coast who had visited this park four years ago and thought it to be such a beautiful spot in this desert region. They returned this year bringing friends with them to enjoy the good fishing and nice camping area. They could not believe that this was the same park they had left four years ago. The trash cans were full and overflowing onto the grass? area. It certainly was not a place of beauty to bring people across the State to see, nor did we think it a place of beauty to drive up from Adrian to see. In the past two years the park has been getting steadily worse. We think now is the time that something should be done, before we have nopark left. —Mr. and Mrs. Carl L.
