D ear Mum,
Our Scoutmaster told us to write to our parents in case you saw
the flood on TV and got worried. We are okay. 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
Adam when it happened.
Oh yes, please call Adam's mother and tell her he is okay. He
can't write because of the cast. I got to ride in one of the search
and rescue Jeeps. It was great. We never would have found Adam
in the dark if it hadn't been for the lightning.
Scoutmaster Ted got mad at Adam for going on a hike alone without
telling anyone. Adam 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 will blow up?
The wet wood didn't burn, but one of the tents did and also some of
our clothes.
Matthew is going to look weird until his hair grows back.
We will be home on Saturday if Scoutmaster Ted gets the bus fixed.
It wasn't his fault about the crash. The brakes worked okay when
we left. Scoutmaster Ted said that with a bus that old, you have
to expect something to break down; that's probably why he can't
get insurance.
We think it's a super bus. He doesn't care if we get it dirty, and
if it's hot, sometimes he lets us ride on the bumpers. It gets
pretty hot with 45 people in a bus made for 24. He let us take
turns riding in the trailer until the policeman stopped and talked
to us.
Scoutmaster Ted is a neat guy. Don't worry, he is a good driver.
In fact, he is teaching Horace how to drive on the mountain roads
where there aren't any cops. All we ever see up there are huge
logging trucks.
This morning all of the guys were diving off the rocks and swimming
out to the rapids. Scoutmaster Ted wouldn't let me because I can't
swim, and Adam was afraid he would sink because of his cast (it's
concrete because we didn't have any plaster), so he let us take
the canoe out. It was great. You can still see some of the trees
under the water from the flood.
Scoutmaster Ted 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 bus so we are trying not to cause him any trouble.
Guess what? We have all passed our first aid merit badges. When
Andrew dived into the lake and cut his arm, we all got to see how
a tourniquet works.
Steve and I threw up, but Scoutmaster Ted said it was probably
just food poisoning from the left-over 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 sure figured out how to
get things done better while he was doing his time. By the way,
what is a pedal-file?
I have to go now. We are going to town to post our letters and
buy some more beer and ammo. Don't worry about anything. We
are fine and tonight it's my turn to sleep in the Scoutmaster's tent.
