ONCE IN A LIFETIME EVENT!
The Camp-Jester of the
Mountain Men gave a glittering, sterling lecture on his observations and
philosophy of Life. Magpie! Immediately
after breakfast this combination of Mark Twain, Groucho Marx and Jerry Lewis
launched into an impromptu monologue which literally almost caused
Cityboy Scotty to pop his stitches!
(Recent Appendix.) The rest of us too!
The group is becoming a team... or better yet, a family once the good
uninhibited joshing humor begins to bubble up. Morale soars!

NEW MEDICINE NAMES GIVEN AROUND LAST NIGHT’S CAMPFIRE:
SILVER STREAK Freeman
got his sign from a jet track
moving silently across
the brilliant blue
sky at sundown
TOOTING has been added
to SCALPED EAGLE (Crewcut) Wenholz
because
of his sweet bugle serenades at such
appropriate
times as 2 o’clock
in the morning
or
Meditation Time or when Lingo is taking a
nap.
PUFFING IRONSIDES
Grainger has a tough time grinding up
the Walt Whitman
Trail to the crest but he
never gives out. Even
volunteered to be
Troop Leader for the climb to the crest
to
watch the sunset, read a bit of Kahil
Gibran’s “The Prophet” and blow “Taps”
bouncing off the Divide
into the Coney
Island atmosphere of Central.

SECOND RULE OF MOUNTAIN SURVIVAL: THINK before you do...
Because: a Mt Man is a REASONING
animal! Build a THINK first!
Then
do it with determination and
courage.

Disciplined Drill in Fire-making: Slice Kindling, lay out
Surgeon’s line, place 3 finger foundation pieces 5 fingers apart, build log
cabin, 3-finger holding of match (up, down, horizontal), light at a corner,
feed across spine.

Informal group discussion like a bunch of grizzled old
philosophers. What are ideas? (Things
like Happiness, Love, Beauty) What’s the diff between Concrete and Abstract
Ideas? (One you can prove by doing, the other takes a lot of talking round and
round.) What is Beauty? (It’s an
abstract idea that YOU believe in and appreciate because it pleasures you.
Calms you. Puts trustfulness in your heart.)

HOW A WATER-BAG WORKS
(Meditated Upon, Reasoned Out and Reported By--Cityboy Schware)
First you have to steretize the water by boiling it for 20 min,
then put it in the bag. This bag gets water cold because the air afaparates the
lekking wattr coming through the cloth. The wattr pull sout the heat and gives
it to the air. Theer for the wattr will get cold.
