After the supper had vanished, and while we all washed our plates, cups, and utensils with the cool mud of the creek bed, a roaring campfire was built; and, as the blaze died away, and the embers glowed brightly, the entire group sat around,...

camp ground was solved by a bucket brigade, and before long the 36 assembled for the hike (or as much of it as you felt your exhausted body could take) to the Hole in the Rock.
Merly abandoned the customary trail because of the very dense growth...

Merly and his crew of River Rats quickly prepared
fine loblollies for representatives of each crew to crawl, run, and creep through. (Ted and Johno were eliminated from the activities after a mud shave as punishment for their naughty deed.) Bob...

Eventually, the war became too rough. Betty was pulled into the river and held under accidentally; Glad was getting mighty cold; and Merlin lost part of his finger as he tried in vain to retain a large can which was his last weapon. When his crew...

Since the dirt road was steep and at its crest there was some soft sand, we all walked past the first bend, where a mad scramble was made for the positions in which we would be carried homeward. Of course, the best places were near canteens, on...

Cal Bears: Captain Steve Kovacich, 934 Avis Drive, El Cerrito, California, seemed to be a General Practitioner of desert life. He kept us informed in detail of the flora and fauna of the region and impressed us as well with his skill in climbing....
