Dear Mom and 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
worried. We are okay. Only one of our tents and two sleeping bags got
washed away.
Luckily, none of us 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 okay. He can't write because of the cast. I got to ride in
one of the Search and 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 okay 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 it's hot, sometimes
he lets us ride on the tailgate. It gets pretty hot with ten 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,
Your son
P.S. How long has it been since I had a tetanus shot
