Packing the Car for a trip

             🚗

              🧳🛍

Good Morning everyone. Wow, what a chore it is to pack the car for a trip! There are so many things to remember. Everyone has a list of what they need and whats important to them. 

In The Case at High Lake, his fishing rod is important to Miles. He knows he will need it to fish off of Grammas dock. He loves fishing with his cousins. 

For his mom, she is probably making sure all the clothes and food are packed. 

What a job getting everything to the car and stuffed inside. Miles drags some down the driveway but does he actually put them in the car? Find the answer in chapter 1. 

What is important for you to pack when you go on a road trip? Make a list. I would enjoy seeing a completed list. Maybe some of your ideas will make their way into the next book!

Answer for the last post: a loud croaking.

This weeks challenge is to complete your list of important items to pack. I'll add some of mine next week.

Next week we will talk about some foods that are important to have at the cottage.

The mucky side of the dock

 

Last week we talked about how often the dock is found in The Case at High Lake. Reminder: it is found in most of the chapters. Did you find all the dock links in the book? 

One answer is: in chapter 2 the detectives had to walk around the dock to the mucky side. 

I've included a picture of the 'muddy' side of the dock. When you stand in it you can sink up to your ankles is slick, sticky leaves and muck. What is muck you ask? The dictionary says its decaying vegetable matter, slime, dirt. In our lake it is all of those things. My grandchildren love to stand in it and catch frogs. Theres so much wildlife in it. Snapping turtles can dig themselves into it and virtually disappear below the muck's surface. Frogs hop along the lily pads that grow in it. What an important part of a healthy lake. 

In chapter 2 Miles hears something. Can you tell me what it is?

Answer to follow in next weeks blog. Don't miss it!

The topic for next week is the chore of packing for a trip. Make sure to join in.
