Mixing Bowl 4-H'ers
By Jean Onkka, reporter
Eight ambitious 4-H’ers left the
Bee Hall early on the morning of
•June 15, on their way to climb
Lazy Mountain. Henning Blunck
took them in his truck as far as
possible.
After a long climb the group
reached the summit of the first
"knoll at noon, where everyone ate
a lunch. The climb had started at
•eight in the morning.
It took the group two hours to
•cross from the first knoll to the
summit of the third knoll,
which is the peak of Lazy Moun
tain, but the girls and their lead
er, Mrs. Blunck, felt the long,
hard climb was worth the effort.
They enjoyed looking down on
the * Valley and spotting their
homes.
After relaxing above the clouds,
the girls started the long climb
down. They arrived in Palmer at
five o’clock, a tired but happy
bunch.
