Soda Bottle Kid

Ton crept up behind the barn that morning to see his parents hook up
 the boat for their trip to the Canadian boundry waters.
 After they left he went back to the camp to tell the boys they were free to campfire
cook and that Camp Wanamaka was officially on.
   Rodney let out a whoop of freedom, as did the others , 10 days of unsupervised camp.
"Let's make a fire and cook breakfast", Tank said.
 A pile of fire wood and lighter fluid was combined to create a blaze in a hurry.
     " My Dad says let it cook down to a red glow to make for good cookin'"
Josh said, but the boy's were too hungry to let the fire go that long and were cooking
hotdogs and trying to fry bologna on a too hot fire.
 At the end of the on slaught I don't think it mattered.
The boys cooked all manner of things and kept the fire going.
Marshmellows Hotdogs A frypan produced fried bologna and some eggs
from Ton and Tanks hen house.
 Life was good that first day at camp.
A call to meeting was sounded and they all gathered around the fire.
   Rodney started with," We must gather our resources and get all the bottles cashed in
by camps end." "That means floating all this, he waved his hand over the flats of bottles,
down Beaver creek to the back of the supermarket and cashin them in, without being detected.
  Josh said," and Ol man Dooley's bottles too!!
   Rodney turned in astonishment, He stammered "Yeah Dooley's bottles too!!"
 The whole gang cheered . Josh looked at him with the encouraging look of a life friend.
  Rodney said," Then tomorrow we move!"
  He had no idea what was going to transpire in the next few days.
 He had no more clue than his mom did, She was working through the reprecussions 
of telling Ed that she wanted a divorce. It frightened her like the thought of taking the
 bottles from Ol man Dooley's shed, frightened Rodney.
 His heart felt in control, but his mind was scattered all over.
The meeting ajourned, The balance of the day was spent making preparatioons for the next
days float down Beaver creek, and the covert operation to Dooley's shed.
 That night around the fire, the talk turned to Dooley's mission, and that all great movies involed
a chain gang when it came to moving high explosives, prisoners of war, etc.
 The plan was to make a delta force and a chain gang with a diversionary
bottle rocket display if it was warranted. It would be less dramatic, but still had casualties.

Tune in next time to see what happens.
