have got small tents, but my tent is large
six scouts are going to sleep in it! It rains a
lot in the mountains, and its sometimes
stormy there, too, but not very often. I hope
it will be sunny this weekend!
Were going to take stoves, too, and make
our own meals. Were going to cook lots of
rice and vegetables. We wont have any
junk food, like burgers.
Its going to be fun! Were going to go
walking, climbing and cycling. On the last
day, were going to go canoeing!
