Aho Creek,
Sorry I missed the campout, although my tee-pee did make it. Unfortunately the white mans black plague infiltrated the Cloud family and to protect my tribe I avoided human contact.
I hope the campout went well. I can't wait to hear about the new trouble Creek got into.
See you all in December at the next meeting and parade.
Black Cloud
P.S. Click my name for a treat.
