I was out this morning with Patrick and Solomon again. We hiked the Big Woods Trail in Willsboro where there is a very active beaver community. The floodplain has a number of large sycamore trees which Solomon described as “giant chameleons disguised as trees.” Good description.
The boys are incredibly bright. Patrick accurately read the story of the assassins who attacked a party of drunken forest dwellers and burned down their cabin. He could tell that the assassins made their get-away on 4-wheelers because they were overweight from eating candy bars and drinking sodas. For evidence he referred to the pile of beer cans in the middle of a scorched heap of lumber surrounded by tire tracks trailing snickers wrappers and soda cans.
