THE GUTEN ABEND GUTE NACHT ZEITUNG
Re-reasoned leaky
lean-tos. Needless to say, fixed same.
Ironsides Granger
toughening himself up. NO sleep bag. Just Army blanket.
Invaded by Baba Yaga.
Birds have a twilight
whistle of “good night” just after sundown.

TWO CROSS COUNTRY HIKES WITH MAXIMUM SURVIVAL PACKS
SAT: Full loads, up east trail to crest of Hawk
Cliff
(3 Toms: “Invasion! Invasion by Barbarians!!”)
meditate the vast panorama: Evans and the Divide
to west; Bald Squaw center near horizon. Shift
center of gravity to downhill movement along
west Cliff trail, discover new, as yet un-named
large–room cave. Back to camp. Collapse with
happy fatigue and good honest sweat which cleanses
the soul of spiritual fat.

Water Stones all the way so all canteens
still full.

AXE-MEN CUT LIVE STANDING TIMBER!
With Ivan-The-Terrible and “E-VON Nyet Tak
Strash-nee” Ringing lustily with the purpose for which they were made, the tree
stands of Laughing Coyote Moutnain were aquiver with grunts, wheezes, and
crashing wood. Exhibiting near-perfect stance, safety-check and swing, cold
steel bit into living fiber. Over and over and over (under 100% observation and
