James (Herschel) Belt worked at Dam 50 and Sue Belt drove
a yellow school bus, which she parked, at the picnic area parking lot at
night, they lived on the dam reservation. I remember that sometimes that
the yellow school bus Sue drove back and forth out of the reservation would
sometimes hit a hornets nest located high in a tree near the Earl W. (Wally)
Rankin house (1st tree across the road). The hornets did not seem to mind
the jarring as the school bus passed. The nest was too high for any other
vehicles to bother. I would see the bus bump the nest as I came to and
from work.
Picnic area.
The far right edge of the gravel is the old road near
the parking lot, mail boxes and hydraulic fluid tank.
Near those 3 trees we had a hitching post where the Amish
parked their buggies.
