7/25/72 Hi -
Had our daily rain but no hail. Supper was vegetable stew, lemon pie & malted milk. The boys tried their luck at fishing today. There is shower here but you cut the wood for the heater & a 1/2 hour later it is HOT. Did the laundry and bet you too are busy helping your Mother and John. Do you recall other flag ceremony?

1972 HH postcard to GHU from Philmont - July 25
[Addressed to GHU] 7/25/72 - 5 months to Christmas
Hi - We keep the axe and saw busy cutting fire wood. It is cool at night, particularly in the mountains - we were over 10,000 feet today and some beautiful sights - doubley so when you get there by your own power. The boys are talking about that home cooked food next week - but we are doing well in getting food for 12 (packed in units of 4) for the 10 of us. Supper is always a cooked meal. –Harold
