YAWN!  Each independent Mt Man made his own fire in front of his lean-to, cooked his own breakfast of oatmeal in his own pack fry pan. Then boiled up Titanic Acid to sip while having a morning book reading.  (Tea called “Titanic” to remind us of it’s tannic acid content so tea leaves can be used for bad burns.)

HIKE OUT!  President Kennedy Maximum Survival Packs formed up in half the time of yesterday’s exercise. Aristotle again Leader and Point-Man; Bear Claw and Lone Wolf, Scouts-Out; Muscles, Ramrod. Going up Hawk Cliff: Fingertip and toetip holds up un-lethal rockface to learn how Max Pax throw you off balance with new center of gravity. Coming down: Side-Step Front-Step Waltz --- Feet Sideways on grass and pine needles to prevent slip-flops. Toes straight downhill for descending steep 45° rock sheets. Packs all fine. No Shake-out. Increasing strength.

Responsibility And Discipline In Camp And At Home
By – Lone Wolf
   “When you have a responsibility you should allwese do what the responsibility asks you to do ad do it well.  You should discipline yourself to do what your mother and father tells you to do and folow threu with it.  I have had trubl with responsibility. If you don’t rezen all the time you are letting down your family or camp mates. You mite make them los ther muroul and any thing can happen when you los your muroul. Your mother and father ask you very little to ern your food and clothing so do your own disciplining by resening.”
Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Lingo stung by a bee. Bee apologized. Lingo put a double whammy curse on the bee. Bee fainted. Bee woke up dead.

BABA YAGA OOKING UP NEW RECIPES OF WEATHER
IN MIXING BOWL OVER VALLEY OF
Cloudbust every 15 minutes
Then 15 minutes of blazing sunshine
Mountain Men furiously saw logs
Then dive for their lean-tos

Whit-Belt sacked out with Japonese Leprosy.

Just about the time everyone had had enough of this crazy jug weather with lazy reading in sleeping bags under poncho lean-tos......BANGGG!!
Magnificent Double Rainbow arcing over Blackhawk Peak in brilliant ice-cream colors, dipping down into Ghost Clouds boiling thru canyon bottoms. Orange sunset. Spirits zoom up. Nature and us dry out.
Mmmmmmmmmmm
   With marrow bones and meat, onions, celery, taters, carrots, barley, beets – yes, by all means beets – salt, pepper and aspen leaves Mt Magic to flavor: RUSSIAN SOLDIER SOUP.  Hot tea after. Supper.
;;;;;;;;;;;
Roaring campfire: Stars out! Half moon setting over Yonder Ridge. Sang and sang.. and sang some more. Philosophical discussion about literate people (parents) reading books, leading the Life Of The Mind, soaking kids in an atmosphere of Ideas. Pop corn & apples.  Tush fell asleep on the log pile with his hand in a pot of warm water.  All stayed up probably post midnite. Agreed to get up at sunrise to get in an early day’s activity then siest during the afternoon rain.  (Slug-a-beds all slept late in the A.M.)
