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.
