White Bluffs troop, enjoyed (?) a
hike last Saturday evening to Barrett
Island. They hadl intended to go to
Locke's Island, but the Columbia
was so high and the wind was blow
ing so strong that Ferryman Wiehl
die not believe he could buck both
the current and wind to land them on
that island and the boys compromised
on Barrett Island. The rainstorm
broke about clark and Scouts had
quite time keeping both dry and
warm with only their blankets
between them and the weather. But
they had lot of fun just the same,
even ii they did not get much sleep.
They returned home about noon
