led Metuchen about 10 o'clock. 1t
had taken us one hour to travel six
miles. Then we went down Main
street to our right, as l wanted to
buy some bandages. We stopped at
the first drug store we came to, near
the railroad bridge at the station.
We went in and told him what we
wanted and as he didn't have the
new skin he gave us some seal skin
and bandages. He charged us 20
cents for both. The druggist asked
where we came from, and we told
him. He also asked us where we
were going and when we told him
he told us it would be too much for
US, as It was six miles from thie
place. This set us to thinking 1t
might be too much for us. so we de-
cided to walk until 1880. We went
down the main street, and as 1t was
getting hot, we took off our coats
and put them in a knapsack. After
walking a half mile we turned to our
left. the sign post on the corner told
US we were six miles from Perth
Amboy.
We walked down the road and we
came to another sign post which
still read six miles from Amboy. We
then decided that the Sign posts
were wrong, The next sign read
three miles to Oak Tree. The name
sounded good SO we decided to hike
there. Finding out which way to so
we started out. We walked along
changing the packs between us and
rested before entering the town. We
walked and walked and we didn't
find any main street. So asking q
girl we were told to so to our left.
We We're now nine miles from Perth
Amboy. The main stores being clos
ed the town was dead. We decided
to go on towards the woods. We
started towards the woods and soon
encountered a small stream. Julius
got a board and we got across.
Opposite the woods was the rail-
road; we went into the woods but
found them to sitting ana swampy.
We went out to find some better
woods but they were all the same.
Becoming disguised we sat down
always from the road and started to
eat. We started to hike again but
my foot began to bother me. We
came to the stream and were cross
ing over when Julius slipped and
got his pants wet. Before eating we
took off our shoes to give our feet a
rest. After eating our meal we
the rubbish. We went into
Oak Tree and asked some people for
a drink. They gave us some we'll
water and it tasted good. We mail
ed a post card in Oak Tree. We
mailed it in a door Of a store which
was closed as SOM people told us

it was the Post Office. We then
staSted on again after we had learn
ed the right way. We rested fire.
quently as my foot was bothering
me. About four o'clock we trailed
into Metuchen. We went into the
drug store where we bought our
first aid stuff but found it closed.
AS we wanted to buy a sundae we
went to another store and bought
them. Starting back towards Amboy
about 4:15, we hiked to Fords where
we rested about 10 minutes. We
stopped at Washington park where
we put on our coats and marched
into Perth Arnboy. About 6:15. 1t
was altogether a successful hike ac-
cording to Julius and myself.

thought the Monroe doctrine was a
