15C some sun peaking through the clouds. Scotch pairs in the morning yesterday. Showed the MH  late in the day. M won 2, tied 2, lost 3 games - thats a lot of bowling even at 6 end games. Back at it again today.

  He went back and said to Gordon, “ We need a couple of toboggans, and we can take a lot more each trip by using the condition of the lake.”

  Gordon replied, “Sure I’ll try and get them.” He looked about the interior of the shack and said, “There’s not much room in here so I’ll go back to the Fort and come out tomorrow, I may as well leave right now.”

  No one said anything and five minutes later he was gone following after the ‘cat’, which had left immediately after arriving.

  Harv said to Jerry, “I know nothing was said, but I guess as the senior man you’re basically in charge.”

  Jerry with a look of relief said, “Sure, I had thought about that but wasn’t sure how to say anything. I’m sure for the most part we will just share our ideas and get things done.”

  Ken for the first time spoke without being spoken too, “How about Milford and I go get some wood, we haven’t got enough for the night and we’ll probably work from here for a couple of days.”

  “Good idea Ken, away you go Milford.” Was the response.

  The next morning Gordon arrived back just after nine, in the back of his car was a single toboggan.

  “ Sorry I could only get one.” He said as he stepped out.  “But that may be enough.”

  No one replied to that, all thinking that one was better than none, but two would have been better.

  “Well here’s what I’ve got planned.” Gordon continued. “We’ll load the toboggan, each take a good packboard load and we’ll all go to the place where we head inland to the campsite.  Two of you can come back a ways and leave the lake and find the old STL boundary and chain off the distance to the North East corner of the sale, the rest of us will get everything to the campsite and get things set up, we’ll all meet back here tonight.
