It was pretty dark and spooky along Fox Trail; it runs through the woods. It isn’t a regular road at all. That took us into the trail around the lake again; you’ll see where if you look at the map. And that trail took us into Cabin Lane right near the Main Pavilion. And there we were back at camp again. If it hadn’t been for Sandwich we might have been hiking around the lake yet and we might have starved just going round in a circle and that’s why I have so much respect for sandwiches, because they remind me of the little dog that saved our lives, especially tongue sandwiches.
There was only one light in camp and that was in Administration Shack. I thought it was funny because mostly there isn’t any light at all late at night. The lake looked awful black and the reflection of the light in Administration Shack showed away off on the water. It seemed like two lights. We went hiking up the porch of Administration Shack as bold as could be, with Hervey singing that crazy song:
“When you go on a hike just you mind what I say,
The right way to go is the opposite way.
If you come to a cross-road don’t make a mistake,
Choose a road, and the other’s the one you should take.
Don’t bother with sign boards but follow this song,
If you start on the right road you’re sure to go wrong.
You can go on your feet, you can go on a bike,
But the right way is wrong when you start on a hike.”
