A letter from Scout Camp

 

 

 

Dear Mum and Dad,

 

 

 

Our scoutmaster told us to write to our parents in case you saw the flood on TV and are worried. We are OK.

 

 

 

Only one of our tents and 2 sleeping bags got washed away. Luckily, none of us got drowned because we were all up on the mountain looking for John when it all happened.

 

 

 

Oh yes. Please call John's mother and tell her he is OK. He can't write because of the cast.

 

 

 

I got to ride in one of the search and rescue jeeps. It was neat. We would never have found him in the dark if it hadn't been for the lightning.

 

 

 

Scoutmaster Jim got mad at John for going on a hike alone without telling anyone. John said he did tell him but it was during the fire so he probably didn't hear him.

 

 

 

Did you know that if you put gas on a fire, the gas can will blow up?

 

 

 

The wet wood didn't burn but one of the tents did, also some of our clothes. David is going to look weird until his hair grows back.

 

 

 

We will be home on Saturday if Scoutmaster Jim gets the car fixed. It wasn't his fault about the crash. The brakes worked OK when we left. Scoutmaster Jim said that with a car that old you have to expect something to break down - that's probably why he can't get insurance.

 

 

 

We think it's a neat car. He doesn't care if we get it dirty and, if it's hot, he sometimes lets us ride on the mudguards. It gets pretty hot with 10 people in a car. He let us take turns riding in the trailer until the highway policeman stopped and talked to us.

 

 

 

Scoutmaster Jim is a neat guy. Don't worry, he is a good driver. In fact, he is teaching Terry how to drive on the forest roads where there isn't any traffic. All we ever see up there are logging trucks.

 

 

 

This morning all of the guys were diving off the rocks and swimming out in the lake. Scoutmaster Jim wouldn't let me because I can't swim and John was afraid he would sink because of his cast, so he let us take the canoe across the lake. It was great. You can still see some of the trees under the water from the flood. Scoutmaster Jim isn't crabby like some scoutmasters. He didn't even get mad about the life jackets.

 

 

 

He has to spend a lot of time working on the car so we are trying not to cause him any trouble.

 

 

 

Guess what? We have all passed our first aid merit badges. When Mark dived into the lake and cut his arm, we got to see how a tourniquet works. Wade and I threw up. Scoutmaster Jim said it was probably just food poisoning from the leftover chicken. He said they got sick that way with food they ate in prison. I'm so glad he got out and became our scoutmaster. He said he found out how to get things done better while he was doing his time. By the way, what is a peedo file?

 

 

 

I have to go now. We are going to town to mail our letters and buy Vaseline. Don't worry about anything. We are fine.

 

 

 

Love, Larry
