The more ambitious mem- bers of the party rolled r-ocks off the tre-stle while the others sat around and talk-ed. i Ten m-inutes later we started again, passed through Rumney, and after branching off th-e mai-n road and cro-ssing the railroad track at Swainsboro, we finally reached Mr. Harry Turner's f-arm where we camped. After the 'tents had been pitched, a very enjoyable hour was spent in playing touch-fo-otball. As it was then 4:30 we discon'tinue-d this sport and took Ia cool swim in Bakers River which Howed right by our camp. 'Bed came at a reas-on- ably early ho-ur, -some of the more ambitious ones enjoying the soft bedding of new-mown hay in Mr. Turn-er's b.arn. Tues-day, August 6th 10 miles We were awakened by T'hrus, loud bellow at what we considered a very early hour and -the few who did take a c-old morning dip found it most invi-go-rating. After Bo-b's breakfast had been enjoyed an-d the tents rolled up, another game of touch-football was play-ed, during which Mr. Ned arrived, bringing with him three members who had been unable to start with us.

After we had gone about five miles we branched- off of the main ro-ad to Plymouth ont-o a recently completed co-ncr-ete highway over which automobiles were n-ot yet permitted to pass.
