684 Disgusted, I looked at the handful I had. “This isn’t even enough for a broom.” Bobby held up his own. “The other campers must have picked the mountain clean.” When we returned, Uncle Curtis stared at the handful of twigs. “That’s okay for kindling. But where are the branches?” “This is all we could find,” I confessed helplessly. Uncle Curtis rubbed the back of his neck. “I was counting on using firewood.” I saw a column of smoke rising a short distance away. “Maybe someone has spare firewood?” “I’ll borrow some. Nature lovers always share with one another. It’s the code of camping,” Uncle Curtis said. Suddenly he slapped himself. “Ow. Darn mosquitoes.” Apparently, there were other creatures besides humans having a meal. “I guess it’s time to use my birthday gift,” I said. I went back to the tent. Something rustled in the brush nearby, but the bushes were too small for a bear to hide behind. So I went inside and got the mosquito repellent. I can’t say it did much good. Even as I sprayed my arm, a mosquito flew right through the mist to land on it. “This stuff just makes us tastier to the mosquitoes,” I said. I was hot, sweaty, being eaten alive, and hungry. So hungry that even Spam would have tasted good. I poked each package in disappointment. “They’re still like ice.” Bobby turned the packages over on the rock. They each clonked against the stone. “Darn dry ice.” Frustrated, he picked up the package and dropped it against the rock. It landed with a loud crack. I thought there was a fifty-fifty chance that either the rock or the meat had broken. Uncle Curtis grabbed a package under either arm. “We’ll defrost the meat as we cook it. What’s the menu for today, boys? Hot dogs or hamburgers?”
Bobby punched cheerfully at the air. “Hot dogs!” I guess the dry ice hadn’t been such a good idea, after all. Sulking, I jammed my hands in my pockets. “I’ll settle for anything that isn’t part of the polar ice cap.” Uncle Curtis put the hamburger into the chest and snapped the clasps shut. “You boys bring the buns and mess kits. I’ll bring the hot dogs.” 685
