My Longest
Walk
The longest walk I ever had was a
couple years back when Richard Oney, Leon and I went riding behind
Pilcher Mtn. to hunt birds. While we were going the wind was kind of
strong but not too bad and I was having fun because that country was
new to me and the sun was shining and there were very few clouds in
the sky.
We stopped to eat and Richard told us
that if we wanted to go by ourselves we could meet him on the other
side of the island. Leon and I said O.K. and we took off on different
trails. I got stuck on a hill and tried to call Leon back but he
never heard me so I had to get out by myself. I was stuck for ten
minutes, and I was very hot when I finished. The sound of their snow
machines was getting farther and farther away and I followed a trail
that led to Leon's trail. I saw him going around a corner and I tried
to catch him but it was too lumpy and I had to go slow. I was kind of
scared because I thought that I would get lost, but I finally caught
up to Leon and asked him if he had seen his dad. He said no, so we
continued to search for him. We never found him, though, and we had
to backtrack on our snowmachine trail. But we followed the wrong
trail. Leon was taking us way back toward Pilot Station. So we turned
around and when we were at the goose hunting place we started back
toward Takchak Slough again.
It was night by the time we reached
Five Day Slough. Leon's machine had run out of gas, so we had only my
Dad's machine to drive. But it didn't have enough gas to make it
home, so we drove kind of fast so if we ran out of gas we would only
have to walk a short distance. When the snow machine finally ran out
of gas we had no food and water and had to walk for a day and a half.
I was very hungry. We also had no tent to sleep in and no blanket to
keep us warm, but we had a fire, and the night made me warm because
the stars were out and there was no wind. The next morning when we
got up Leon said that he was cold, so we started walking again. When
we got tired we rested for a while then started walking
again.
We walked all day, and just before
nightfall we heard a plane flying our way. Leon and I got very happy
because we thought we wouldn't have to walk anymore. It was the State
Trooper's plane, and we started flicking our lighters so they could
seen us. We thought they were going to pick us up but they never did.
They were only locating us for the Marshall Search and Rescue team.
About five minutes later we saw snowmachines coming over to us, and
when they stopped they gave us food. Boy, were we HUNGRY!!
