Mile Minute on the Ground
We raced down the field and picked up
a mile minute gait, then rose so softly
that before I realized we were off the

to be dropping below. .
Mounting to 5000 feet, we started to-

how mere man-made camouf1age cannot

hard he is trying to copy the landscape.
Soon we saw the beginning of the COM
