"It's quite Impossible." "Why girls, you!ll never make it; it's fool lull on the face of It." But despite these and many other hindrances, we, the above mentioned girls, left Ashland Monday, August 1, bound tor Crater Lake with no conveyance except our feet, and our one object in view to have a good time and aee some of the many wonders, of our own state. It was decided among us, after much consultation, taking into consideration the high cost of shoe leather and the wearl nesK ot many miles of hiking, we might with great cautiousness ac cept a ride from anyone who saw fit to offer us the same. So with no fire-arms a nil u dull Jack knife as our only weapons, we started, but luck was ours from the first and we rode across the burning deserts near Eagle Point to Rogue river, then with another lift from a kind gentleman we were 'able to make Prospect tho flint night.. After rest ing anil eating a slight lunch, we took the kodak and walked down to Mill creek falls, a very beautiful sight, falling over H00 feet Into llogue river. A jolly tiniH was spent at Pros pect hotel that evening and on ac count of the frigid temperature (if the atmosphere and a scarcity of blankets we arose early next morn ing and were on the road by' tb time the sun wag up. It was then we received the first taste of real hiking; all cars passing us were tourists, heavily . loaded, and we were obliged to eat their dust and till plod on. We stopped only long enough to view the Natural Bridge and marvel at the wonder of it, when finally a few miles beyond I'nion creek our long looked for ride came and though it was a truck we clamored In thanking our lucky stars (or a chance to rest our dust covered feet. This ride took us into about five miles of Crater Lake, where we took a side, road to the Garden of the Gods, a very wonder ful sight. It was growing late when we reached the government camp and there we met some hospitable Ashland folks who gave us a hot meal and hay to spread our blankets on. All the camners gathered around their huge camp fire that evening and the men told stories of bear hunts "once ,upon a time.''
