Weather Story

One day Robert, Walter, Joel, Ray, Nicholas and I decided to walk up to the gold mine.When we we got to Wilson Slough we were tired and thirsty. We found a little open hole and we drank until we were satisfied. When we got up to the little ditch Nicholas, Ray and I turned back because the wind got worse. Robert, Joel, and Walter kept walking up to the gold mine. When we boys that turned back, got to the starting of the airport we caught a ride home with Bruce Hunter.

When the other boys reached Willow they were not that tired. When they got by the gold mine trail Walter and Joel nearly fell in the slough. Robert, Joel and Walter saw an old-looking jeep. Robert, Joel and Walter also climbed a pile of rocks and they slid down the snow. They went in the old shop to warm up. When they went back outside the wind got worse. They ran back into the shop and stayed in for about thirty minutes. Later they went back out of the shop and noticed it was getting dark. So they walk back down to the beach.

Richard Ellis called a search and rescue party to look for the boys. Richard noticed a light or a reflection on Robert's coat. When he found Robert, Walter and Joel he told them the search and rescue party was looking for them. Robert told me the story and how windy it was at the gold mine.
