Spock and Galvatron < one and the same
Dear 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
andbuy 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
