Find Outdoor Life
Has Its Drawbacks
Prize Contribution
By Richard Fem, Il
Sligo Elementary, School, Silver Spring

SIoo Elementary, School, Silver spring
Early in September, Irving Jones,
a college student, took Robert Wake
UNI, Dick Paul and me on a hike to
Great Falls. We had planned to
walk out, camp for the night and
walk back, but as it turned out, my
father drove us out.
Arriving late in the afternoon,
we were glad to get the tent pitched
and the fire going. After supper,
which consisted of soup and fruit,
we donned our sweaters, took our
flashlights, which had very weak
batteries, and started out on what
turned out to be a pretty wet hike.
Mr.. Jones was setting fast pace,
and Bob and Dick were keeping up
pretty we'll, but I soon found myself
with a dim flashlight and wet moe
casins. 1 stood up to see If I could
find the other fellows, but quickly
went down-and hard. The next
time I stood up, I did 1t with more
caution. Now I was worse OH be-
cause it was dark and the jolt OF
going down so abruptly had knocked
the bulb and batteries out OF my
light. I spent a futile five minutes
irving to fix it, but when I did get
it back together, the light was SO
dim that 1t was hard for me to find
nv way to where I could see my
companions sitting on a rock,
dangling their feet in the water.
I waved to Mr.. Jones and he showed
me the path over the rocks which
they had taken. The water felt
good to my hot feet, but back we
started. And 1t was just as bad
going back, for my shoes kept slip
ping off and my flashlight kept
going out.
At bedtime, we had a choice of
using sleeping bags or a pup tent.
I chose the bag, and no sooner had
I lay down than fiashllght popped
ON and a handful Of sand came
zooming my way. After few min
utes of that, I went over to the
tent. So did Bob and Dick.
About 2 am. noticed a light in
the back of the tent. Mr.. Jones
was dressing. I soon was dressed
and helped him get a fire started.
After light breakfast, we packed
up and left about 3:45 am. We
hiked to Cabin John and waited in
the rain for my father to come after
