Kid at Boy Scout Summer Camp writes home..................


> Dear Mom and Dad,
Our Scoutmaster told us to write to our parents in case you saw the flood on TV and got worried.
> We are okay. Only one of our tents and 2 sleeping bags got washed away.
> Luckily, none of us got drowned because we were all up on the mountain looking for Adam when
> it happened.
> Oh yes, please call Adam'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
> great.  We never would have found Adam in the dark if
> it hadn't been for the lightning.  Scoutmaster Ted
> got mad at Adam for going on a hike alone without telling
> anyone.
> Adam 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 gasoline on a fire, it will blow up?
> The wet wood didn't burn, but one of the tents did and also some
> of our clothes.  Matthew is going to look weird until
> his hair grows back.
>
> We will be home on Saturday if Scoutmaster Ted gets the bus
> fixed.  It wasn't his fault about the crash.
> The brakes worked okay when we left.
> Scoutmaster Ted said that with a bus
> that old, you have to expect something to break down;
> that's probably why he can't get insurance.
> We think it's a super bus.
> He doesn't care if we get it dirty, and if it's hot, sometimes he lets us ride on the
> bumpers.
> It gets pretty hot with 45 people in a bus made for
> 24.
> He let us take turns riding in the trailer until the policeman
> stopped and talked to us.
> Scoutmaster Ted is a neat guy. Don't worry, he is a good driver.
>
> In fact, he is teaching Horace how to drive on the mountain
> roads where there aren't any cops.  All we ever see
> up there are huge logging trucks.
> This morning all of the guys were diving off the rocks and
> swimming out to the rapids.
> Scoutmaster Ted wouldn't let me because I can't swim, and Adam was afraid he would sink
> because of his cast (it's concrete because we didn't have any plaster), so he let us take the canoe out.
>
> It was great. You can still see some of the trees under the water
> from the flood.
> Scoutmaster Ted 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 bus so we are trying
> not to cause him any trouble.
> Guess what? We have all passed our first aid merit badges.
> When Andrew dived into the lake and cut his arm, we all got to see how a tourniquet works.
> Steve and I threw up, but Scoutmaster Ted said it was probably just food poisoning from the left-over
> chicken.
> He said they got sick that way with food they ate in prison.
> I'm so glad he got out and became our scoutmaster.
> He said he sure figured out how to get things done better while he
> was doing his time.
> By the way, what is a pedal-file?
> I have to go now.
> We are going to town to mail our letters and buy some more beer and
> ammo.
> Don't worry about anything.
> We are fine and tonight it's my turn to sleep in the
> Scoutmaster's tent.
