As I grew up, however, the Big Rock wilderness was slowly but steadily fragmented by the development around it - first a new shopping carter ate part of the woods behind it and then a “parkway" brought four lanes of traffic within a few yards of Big Rock itself Upstream, a long stretch of the creek became a cement ditch, carrying away the crayfish, the minnows, and the legend of the monster turtle- On my occasional returns to the old neighborhood, I began to worry about where kids would find their own private wilderness - or if they wore even looking for it any more.
