Fired Up...

   WE WON THE PRIZE! Can you believe it? It was slow-going for a while (some of those clues were hard!) but we put our heads together (more heads are always better than one) and turned in our winning guess just before the deadline. OK, so one of the sisters actually guessed it. But whew! We really needed that FIRE BOOK. I hope some of you other Wilderness Protectors got one, too. If not, it will be available at the end of this week over at WKC.

   Like I say, you can't just take off into the wilderness without knowing some things, and building a decent fire is about the most basic skill there is. Because light, warmth, and cooking pretty much covers everything a person needs out there. Well, almost. Which is why Buddy's Uncle Joe agreed to take our whole patrol over to the fire pits at the picnic area and let us practice, this weekend. Hey -- you can't go lighting a bunch of fires in your piece of the wilderness unless it's in a campground somewhere and it's allowed. Which ours isn't and it's not. But there's lots of places to practice fire-building. Even in your own fireplace or barbecue at home (if your parents will let you).

   Anyway, we've got a lot coming up now that we know who the Mystery Guest is, but you'll have to head on over to WKC to find out. Heh, heh, heh...

I'll race you.
