Dear Mom & Dad,
Our Scoutmaster told us to write to our parents in case you saw the flood on TV and are worried. We are okay. Only one of our tents and 2 sleeping bags got washed away. Luckily, only one of us got drowned (poor David) because the rest of us were all up on the mountain looking for Nate when it happened.
I have to go now. We are going to town to mail our letters & buy some more ammo. Don't worry about anything. We are fine. Not.
Love, Matt

Good thing Mr. Dustin only has to bring back 75% of us.
Oh yes, please call Nate's mother and tell her he is okay. He can't write because of the cast. I got to ride in one of the search and rescue jeeps. It was neat. We never would have found him in the dark if it hadn't been for the lightning.
Scoutmaster Dustin got mad at Nate for going on a hike alone without telling anyone. Nate said he did tell Matt Leno, but it was during the fire so he probably didn't hear him. Did you know that if you put gas on a fire, the gas will blow up?
The wet wood didn't burn, but one of the tents did and also some of our clothes. Ryan is going to look weird until his hair grows back.
This morning all of the guys were diving off the rocks and swimming out to the rapids. Scoutmaster Dustin wouldn't let me because I can't swim, and
Nate was afraid he would sink because of his cast, its concrete because we didn't have any plaster, so he let us take the canoe out. It was great.
You can still see some of the trees under the water from the flood.
Scoutmaster Dustin isn't crabby like some scoutmasters. He didn't even get mad about the life jackets. He has to spend a lot of time working on the trailer so we are trying not to cause him any trouble.

Good news, a telegram just came that says that the coastguard picked up David alive somewhere out in Labrador.
Guess what? We have all passed our first aid merit badges. When Greg dived into the lake and cut his arm, we got to see how a tourniquet works.

I haven’t had a good night sleep for the past 4 nights, because Tyler snores in my ear in my ear all night. And if you are wondering why Matt is sleeping in our tent when Nick is my tent buddy, well to make a long story short, Matt and Ryan are tent buddies, but the we had the fire Scoutmaster Dustin told us to put our snacks in the bear bag, but Matt and Ryan didn’t hear because Matt was helping Ryan get the bucket off of his head. He had to cool of his hair somehow.
So they left their snacks in their tent. Now there is a big hole in their tent. But it was cool to hear Matt scream like a girl. I really like doing the bear-in-camp drill, but it was a lot more fun doing it for real. Of course Matt and Ryan couldn’t help because they were still in shock.
And the first night I couldn’t sleep because Ben was crying because he left his teddy at home.
Greg said not to worry. “The teddy misses you too.”
That didn’t help much. Than Ben beat Greg up. That was fun to watch!
I have to go now. We are going to town to mail our letters & buy some more ammo. Don't worry about anything. We are fine. Not.
Love, Matt
Ps.
How long has it been since I had my tetanus shot?
