A Camping Trlp Worth Remembering Never .1 dull moment is one way of descnbmg this tme expenence smce we all had wonderful tlme It all began on one of those summer d11s when even thlnking makes a person tired It was very hot and we vsere all going to Crystll L1lee Beach There were four of us glrls and some one was bound to come up with 1 better idea than swimmlng I dont even recall whose idea it was to go on a camping trip but I do ren1cmber every one of us thought it was the best idea smce the introduction of T V The ideal spot would be Spille rs e unp St agger Inn way down ln the woods In fact xt would be the only place to stay down in the pa rt of tl1e woods where we wanted to go It was four mlles from any civilization of any kmd over IH extremely rough road Each of us went a different 11 ay home to get some provisions for a trip that we estimated would cover a weeks time Dxsregardmg the pl1ns for the beach we met at the store to buy a few things and took off for our destmatxon The owner of the camp lent us his black pa nel truck That made more noise than a tm can factory and the road didn t help any It took us 1bout two hours for our four mile trip with only one accldent The door of the truck flew open ar1d SVG were minus one lug of water 1nd due to that we ate water logged bread also for the next three meals Although we had planned on a httle protection it didnt work out so very well The father of one of us very thoughtfully donated a watch dog for our tr1p Ile 1vas .1 watch dog all right All he did was watch us A stranger could have carried aww the 1vhole Cllllp and it would have been fine with him As I thmk about it now he was something to be piticd we forgot to bring along food for him He ate anything and evervthmg for 1 week It couldnt happen to a dog but it did I thmk he was one very pleased dog to be back in civilization and back on a dogs dlet after that ordeal There was an old gun on the wall of the camp and it must have been as old as all four of us together VVe couldnt find an excuse to use it until one night when we thought someone or something was around the camp INo one had any idea as to what the noise might be but all of us agreed that lt would be a good ide 1 to shoot that cannon Not one of us had the least ldea how to shoot lt but we decided it would be 1 good ide 1 to find out how NVe opened a XVlIld0W a httle bit and let er go as the sa11ng goes and we didnt hear any more nolses that night or death That gun kicked something fierce and it took us half of the next day to fiigure out how to re load it for the next noise at night There was always plent1 to e1t No one knew how to cook very well Whoever cooked anything 11 ould dlre the rest of us to e1t It XVe went back to the store after a couple of days to get some more food 1Ve ne1 er fullv re 1l1zed the cost of living untll we bought our food for the rest of the duration Some help was offered by our p lrents 1vl10 either just plainly wanted us to have a good time or were lust plam glad for us to get some experience in being on our own Rumor had lt that there 11 as a blg bear do 1vn around that camp When the sun went down 1ve would close up for the night It got verv d lflx e1rlv ln those 1voods and lt used to get un bearably 11 arm 1n the clmp But would anyone open th lt dom be fore perfect daylight the next day? No Slfl Once 11e thought 11e h1d 1 chlm nev fire lt got so hot but no one would go out to find out YVhen lt got d1rk there It was really dark too One night just about dusk we were carrying things 1ns1de after being outdoors when off just as far as 11e could see there 11 as something com mg towards the camp YVe all ran 1ns1de pulled do1vn the curtains and locked botl1 doors As the object got nearer and nearer 1ve recognized 1 friend He 11 19 gomg farther on to the river and we went out to t ilk to him He, said he hoped he had not sc1red us very much Everyone registered surprised expressions to make him thmk 11e 11 ere Nt TX e 1lm lust how much he scared us he will never know By the end of the 11ee1k we had survived qu ite a few scares Nevertheless It had been our ide 1 of fun 1nd ilthough 11e h 1ve smce been on other eunpmg trips 11e l1 1ve not had IS much fun as on th1t particular one Marlene Roderick 53 .
