Dear Mom and Dad,

Our scoutmaster told us to write to our parents in case you saw the flood on TV and were worried. We are OK. Only one of our tents and two sleeping bags got washed away. Luckily, none of us got drowned because we were all up on the mountain looking for Chad when it happened.

Oh, yes, please call Chad's mother and tell her he is OK. He can't write because of the cast. I got to ride in one of the Search and Rescue jeeps. It was neat. We never would have found him in the dark if it wasn't for the lightning. Scoutmaster Walt got mad at Chad for going on a hike alone without telling anyone. Chad said he did tell him, but it was during the fire so he probably didn't hear him.

Did you know that if you put gas on a fire, the gas can will blow up? The wet wood didn't burn, but one of the tents did. Also some of our clothes. John and Bobby are going to look real weird until their hair all grows back.

We will be home on Saturday if Scoutmaster Walt gets the car fixed. It wasn't his fault about the wreck. The brakes worked OK when we left. Scoutmaster Walt said that a car that old you have to expect something to break down; that's probably why he can't get insurance. We think it's a neat car. He doesn't care if we get it dirty, and if it's hot, sometimes he lets us ride outside on the fenders.

It gets pretty hot with 10 people in a car. He let us take turns riding in the trailer until the nice Highway Patrolman stopped and talked to us. Scoutmaster Walt is a neat guy. Don't worry, he is a good driver. In fact, he is teaching Terry how to drive on the muddy mountain roads where there isn't any traffic. All we ever see up here is big logging trucks.

This morning, all of the guys were diving off the rocks and swimming out in the lake. Scoutmaster Walt wouldn't let me because I can't swim, and Chad was afraid he would sink because of his cast, so he let us take the canoe across the lake. It was great. You can still see some of the trees under the water from the flood.

Scoutmaster Walt isn't crabby like some scoutmasters. He didn't even get mad about us forgetting to bring the lifejackets. He has to spend a lot of the time working on the car so we are trying not to cause him any trouble.

Guess what? We have all passed our first aid merit badges. When Dave dove in the lake and cut his arm, we got to see how a tourniquet really works. Wade and I threw up all last night, but Scoutmaster Walt said it probably was just food poisoning from the leftover chicken. He said they got sick just like that way from the food he used to get in prison. I'm so glad he got out and became our new scoutmaster. He said he carefully figured out how to get things done better and to not get into any more trouble while he was doing all his time. By the way, what is a pedophile?

I have to go now. We are going to town to mail our letters and buy Scoutmaster Walt some more bullets. Don't worry about anything. We are fine.

Love, Danny.

P.S. How long has it been since I had a tetanus shot?
