Wiggling her ears and flipping her
tail, she moves off and disappears into the bushes.
We start back to the campsite and make our way along the trail down the
side of Mount Nokomis. Soon we're back at camp.
Dad lights a lantern and gets the campfire going. We put sweaters on,
sit on logs next to the fire and sing camping songs. The girl with the
guitar joins us, and so do other campers and everyone joins in the
singing. The moon and stars shine in the sky and it's very peaceful.
Suzanne and Roger rose, waved to me, and headed for home.
'Don't forget to be here tomorrow,' Roger shouted. 'We had another
interesting experience the next day.'
'I'll be here.' I waved back.
Visit with Two Seals
True to their word, Suzanne and Roger arrived at Three Palms the
following day. We sat under the banana palm, and Roger told the next
story.
This is the day for the hike to Point Nemo, on the other side of the
island. It will be an all day trip, so we start early.
Mother packs our knapsacks with sandwiches, cookies, and cans of juice
while Dad inspects our hiking gear, like for extra socks, sweaters, towels
and things like that.
