'Some of us went fishing, and at one point I thought I'd caught a whopper. When I reeled it in, though, it was pretty small so I let it go. My friends and I laughed about it, but next time I really am going to hook a big one. ''After dark we sat by the lake telling stories. The weather was kind of cold, SO when I finally crawled into my sleeping bag I pulled on a warm hat and some wool socks.

'Early the next morning I looked out of the tent and saw a deer by the lake. My buddy and I went down there, being real quiet and hiding behind trees and bushes. We got close enough to see the deer's breath in the cold air, and we watched it eating grass. Its ears were twitching around and it must have heard us, because all of a sudden it ran away."We ate a big breakfast, then packed up and beaded for home. The tents are stored again at our Scoutmaster's house, but they won't be there long. We're already planning our next adventure, and I can hardly wait!"
