Dearest Dad! ( Daniel)
Thought I would take this time to write home to you. As you know I was at KD's house but from there I decided to go to "snowdog's" --- well, let me tell you that wasn't the easiest thing I have ever done ! I thought I would try traveling cheap so I found a guy that was going down the ohio river in a boat -- so I hitched a ride.
we traveled a few days down river ( which was easy traveling ) so was able to get a little fishing in ,as we didn't have to do much paddling --- we finally got to where another big river intersected us and I talked to a couple of these guys on the bank
anyway they told me I needed to go north from here (upstream). I found a local boy that was headed that way and for a little while I thought I was upstream without a paddle , but the local did have one, so we are making our way north
we have seen many interesting things along our way, --- for awhile I thought we had went clear over to Afrcia as there were some strange animals along the way
at one point we had to portage around some rapids so we took the easiest way to travel in the dense undergrowth
we did get back to a more normal routine and the animals were a little more like what I had expected to see
after traveling north for a few days, we came across a boy camped by the river -- I think his name was " p-nok-e -o" --anyway , everytime he would tell us something his nose would get real large ---finally he told us about a giant frog that was in the area and nothing happened to his nose ,so we thought it was the truth-- and we were right!
it was at this point that we knew we were close to snowdog's --it didn't take long to find him so will close for now since you know I finally arrived safely --am weary from all this traveling so decided to take a nap with him
Your "son" , Avi
