It was one of those recent sparkling afternoons, as the 'Daisy' Scout troop 30960 gathered at 'Papa John' Kiefer's home in Springhill Valley for an adventure into one of Lafayette's nature freeways, otherwise known as Reliez Valley Creek. All were appropriately attired in knee boots, galoshes or tennies. One first grader sported unofficial scout foot ware with a 'daisy' pattern. As wildness and screams emanated, echoes filled the air from exuberant kids splashing the creek water passing through a six foot pipe beneath the road. (Encourage our children to play in our creeks, learn of the natural world and experience its pleasures and risks at an early age. There, they can have a magical experience building forts, exercising creativity, and living out their fantasies, to better know who they are.)
