California Adventure

James Capen Adams roamed the Sierra Nevada when California was wild. He slept on the ground, ate what he could kill, mended his own wounds, and made friends with the Native Americans he encountered. Adams captured animals in elaborate traps he built by hand and delivered his prey to zoos, museums, and certain famous exhibitions. Many of his stories became the inspiration for a popular TV show in the 1980s, featuring a mountain man and his pet bear. This is the true story behind the legend, as told by Adams to respected California historian Theodore Hittell.

Catalina lifted one hand to the tight black top she was wearing and moved it strongly against her left breast. Mmmm, that felt so good! She was watching Jessie like a hawk now as the blonde girl appeared to wash her hands with the soap and then place it back in the soap-dish. It was hard to be sure, but Jessie now seemed to have moved her hands to her own belly - and perhaps below - and was pushing her pert backwards and forwards in little dance-style moves, apparently rubbing up against her own hands.
