After a night of camping with 40+ boy scouts from Missouri, Pop Tart, Gumby and the Deuce have skirted Princeton and Yale and are sliding into Twin Lakes. Segment 11 is in the books. After the next segment, they will be into single digits. Tonight they are camping very close to where a bear attacked a camper a week ago. Timmy told me that he is going to sleep up in the trees tonight. Don’t bears climb trees? If Tim calls you tonight, don’t tell him. He thinks he will be safe.
The boys also ran into a gravesite for a dog. Who buries a dog on the CT? The grave marker stated that the dog’s name was Sam? I wonder if he meant the Son of Sam or the Dog of Sam. Did Berkowitz escape the NY prison system and is he hanging out on the CT looking for Gumby?
Tomorrow they will have a short day and be heading into Leadville to stay at the Leadville Hostel. A nice place to hang out and enjoy the hospitality. They will be able to shower, wash clothes and swap Son of Sam and bear stories.
Adios.
