A letter from camp....
I thought this was cute, some of you might have read it before. I hope that you like it. 😀
A LETTER FROM CAMP
Dear Mom & Dad:
We are having a great time here at Lake Typhoid. Scoutmaster Webb is
making us all write to our parents in case you saw the flood on TV and
worried. We are OK. Only 1 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 Chad when it happened. Oh yes, please call Chad'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 & rescue jeeps.
It was neat. We never would have found him in the dark if it hadn't been
for the lightning. Scoutmaster Webb got mad at Chad for going on a hike alone
without telling anyone. Chad 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 still didn't burn, but one of our tents did. Also some of our
clothes. John is going to look weird until his hair grows back.
We will be home on Saturday if Scoutmaster Webb gets the car fixed.
It wasn't his fault about the wreck. The brakes worked OK when we left.
Scoutmaster Webb said that a car that old you have to expect something
to break down; that's probably why he can't get insurance on it. We think
it's a neat car. He doesn't care if we get it dirty; and if it's hot,
sometimes he lets us ride on the tailgate. It gets pretty hot with 10 people
in a car. He let us take turns riding in the trailer until the highway patrolman
stopped and talked to us.
Scoutmaster Webb is a neat guy. Don't worry, he is a good driver. In fact,
he is teaching Terry how to drive. But he only lets him drive on the
mountain 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 Webb wouldn't let me because I can't swim and
Chad 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 Webb 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 Dave dove in the lake and cut his arm, we got to see how
a tourniquet works.
Also Wade and I threw up. Scoutmaster Webb said it probably was just
food poisoning from the leftover chicken.
I have to go now. We are going into town to mail our letters and buy
bullets. Don't worry about anything. We are fine.
Love,
Cole
P.S. How long has it been since I had a tetanus shot?
