Tongues hanging out and
flapping back & forth Shoe-tips kicking droopy chins! Shoulders sagging
under too many tons of unfamiliar weight! ARISTOTLE OF ARCOPOLIS HILL Mahaffy
leading the entire troop to his philosophical-political stomping ground. (He
plans to educate himself to be an honorable, courageous professional
politician-statesman in adult life.)
Long exhaustion & shake-down hike with no-called PRESIDENT KENNEDY
MAXIMUM SURVIVAL PACKS. Rain ponchos
shake loose from the jarring pace. Flashlights and long underwear drag out.
Shoulder straps need adjustments. Canteens to be moved over one notch on web
belts. Ropes slack and spill change of
clothes, nite sweater and food...can of kindling, morale book. Rain. Finally to
destination and back up to base camp.

MYSTERY!
What happened?! There
are some things in life which just can’t be reasoned out! – Muscle Back’s pack
frame disappeared from his lean-top! Searched the entire hillside! No Trace!
Did Grumpy Bear borry it to collect a load of freshly ripening
Kinnikenneck? Maybe Sam Gommowitz? Or a
cow-critter passin thru hooked it on horn?
Or Iron Jaw’s jilted ex-fiance swiping it to get revenge on all Mt Men?... Or..... Charlie?

HOW CAMP
MORALE
It could start off if one mountainman is
stupid and ignorant for just one minute. If he starts running and trips and
hurts himself, that will start off the bad morall firecrackers. Somebody else
might panic because he is hurt. Then somebody else loses his temper and yells
at somebody else. More mistakes get made when feelings are bad. Bad morall
breaks up friendships.

Built bear-proof
ice-chest elevator hauled up twixt 2 trees via ropes. Lone Wolf had third installment of his
chronic malady. He’ll live.
Because he’s such a
great swimmer and loves to slide down mud banks on his umbilicus, he is now
OTTER Rasmuson.

It’s all a matter of
ATTITUDE. Two man can look at the same thing from completely opposite
viewpoints. The Pessimist can say, “The battery acid pot is half empty. ”The
Optomist can say, “The battery acid pot is half full.” Take your choice.

MEDITATION SONG
As gentle as sprint time, as strong as the Rockies .
As high s the
fleece-clouds and eagle do go. As peaceful as grass in the open range meadow –
I know this is Col-er-a-do. Chorus; Cool, Colorful
II – I wake in the
half-light of a soft dew-washed sunrise.
Of your pure crystal day I breathe long
and deep
I marvel at the color of your flaming
sunset
Diamond blanket of stars for my sleep ----
Cool, Colorful, Colorado

Evening: Blockbuster
Stew, pop corn, wild singing mit Git-tar, bugle solos. Mountain men are getting tougher, harder,
more spirited.
Log pile low.
Fourth installment for
you-know-who.
Good
night.....................Charlie clanking 3
