 However, their castles in Spain were ruthlessly leveled to earth wno.- they reached the Salt River and found that usually quiet and peaceful stream of water ulfordable. The boys sat on the bank of the river for an hour or so and figured out just what they would do when the river abated and they were able to continue on their way to Bisbee unmolested.
