Letter
Notes on a late camping trip:
By pooling gas and fishing
equipment, the men decided we
could take, a short camping trip.
wo two camping trips are ever
the same but for one thing In
spite of our experience, we leave
what we should have taken and
take what we should have left.
So, naturally, since this time we
took bedding along, we wound
up in a fully equipped cabin.
And the men, having prepared
for trout fishing, fished for sal
mon with gear borrowed on
thi spot.
Disillusioning experiences
have taught friends and family
that when I go fishing, I never
intend to fish. My pastimes are
all hyphenated a fishing-visit,
a picnic-visit, party-visit, club-
visit. On a fishing-visit, I never
worry over what kind of lures
will prove most seductive; I let
my quarry provide their own
bait. Maybe the woman serving
us coffee at a wayside stand will
have on an intriguing pin. I men

thirteen to the dozen. I not only
get the story of her life but also
certain reprisals she has In mind
when, and if, her husband re
turns from the poker session she
feels sure he Is attending.
This time I made a catch
which confused me no end. In
conversation with the auto camp
proprietor, he recognized me
from having attended the sale
where I bought two day-old
calves; a dollar apiece. (If
Frank had given me 4 dollars, I
would have taken four calves.)
At home, this unhappy experi
ence is never mentioned but this
man not only mentioned It, he

A woman companion gave me
some pretty stiff competition
with her blue slacks and black
curls. Too, her mimosa-glance

she had mine. All she was In
terested in was lillles and for

ed" from the ear during the
night, we took most of them into
the cabin. I lightened my load
somewhat by taking only the
right shoes of our hikers. No
thief, I felt, would bother to
steal a bunch of shoes for left
feet, only.
The dog got the colic; which
served her right for having eat
en all our salaaml. This made
her smell of garlic and as she
tagged me wherever I went,
you can see what chance I had
in competition with a woman
who talked about lillles and had
blue slacks and come-hither
eyes. Just In case we go again.
I've ordered a book on orchid
culture, a pair of yellow slacks
and I aim to leave the dog, or
the salaaml, at home.
