Entry #3

"Lenny and I didn't stop running until we made it to Pickerel Cove. Holy cow was that scary! We still saw no sign of Bart but both of us came to the conclusion that he must have ran too. Being the oldest of us, we weren't too worried. Plus, the fish were jumping like crazy in the cove. I headed down the embankment but Lenny said he had to go take a leak. After catching a nice bass and a few perch, I started wondering what was taking Lenny so long. I called...no answer...called again...still no answer. As I walked up toward where I last saw him, I told him that he wasn't funny and to stop messing with me. I came to the broken tree that we all use when "nature is calling" and Lenny was missing. All that was left was his box. I left it there in case he returned for it. If you happen to find it, help yourself to trading some loot...Lenny loves that kind of stuff. Just write him a note telling him you were there and what you traded. Wish me luck. I gotta go find my buddies."

Thanks,
Arky

(BTW, you should bring your own pen in case his is missing or broken)
