Moore. Cur Trap to Mexlco First Day. . . At flve- thlrty ln the momlng on July 27, 1951, thirty-one boys began to drag themselves to the Ostrander School Building. They stored their gear in tl1e bus and patiently awalted the arrival of Mr. Frantom and the key to the school bulldlng. We packed the kitchen utensils loaned to us by the school cafeteria. At 9:15we were ready to pull out on the flrst leg of our joumey. Second Day. . . In the momlng, we met some Texan boys who were taking a trip similar to ours. We left Mammoth Cave Park about 10:00 a.m. , ate lunch ln Tennessee, and arrived ln Memphis about 5:00. We were supposed to camp just across the Arkansas border, but we were forced to hunt more peaceful sleeping grounds due to the mosqultos. We camped at Llttle Rock, Arkansas, at 2:00 a.m. Oh, for a few hours rest! Thlrd Day. . . At 10:00 a. m. , we had radlator trouble ln Gerdln. We enjoyed our swim ln a dammed up stream which was 90 feet deep ln some places. After our relaxlng swim we motored to Texarcanna where we spent the nlght. Fourth Day. . . We had tlre trouble just mslse of Austin, Texas. lt took Mr. Frantom exactly two hours to get a tire. Dale Taylor almost lost his life to a copperhead, but just ln time we intervened and killed the snake. ln San Antonio, Texas, we bought a gasoline stove on which to cook our meals as the orlglnal one was much too small. We camped at Rockville, Texas Flfth Day. . . We reachd Lorado which can be seen at a distance of two hundred mlles. We camped beslde a lake and went swlmmlng. That nlght some of us slept on a dike around the lake. Next day before we left some of us took a sall boat and sailed on the lake. 25
