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 are 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 its 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?
