Maybe you think that's easy, but you
have to find a place where the drainage is good and where there's good
drinking water.
Pretty soon we found a dandy place about a quarter of a mile off the road,
and we put up our tent there.
Harry Donnelle said, "There's one kind of wild animal that I forgot to
mention and I guess we'll be hunting them all right; that's mosquitoes.
I guess one or two of you kids had better hit the trail for the nearest
village and complete our shopping before we get any further. What do you
say? We're a little short on mosquito dope and we ought to have some
crackers, and let's see, a little meat would go good. I'm hungry."
When we turned into the woods from the road, we knew that we were coming
to a village and I guess that's what put the idea into Harry's head to
have somebody go there and get two or three things that we hadn't been
able to get in Catskill.
I told him that I'd go, because the rest would be busy getting in fire
wood and I said it would be good if two or three of them tried to catch
some fish in the brook.
Oh boy, I had hardly said that, when Ralph Warner shouted that he had a
perch and that the brook was full of them.
