Dear Bob,

I'm very disappointed in you.  I have either become too subtle for you or else you just don't read
the addressee side of my envelopes.  In either case a serious deficiency is evident in your
education and I trust immediate steps will be taken to alleviate the situation.

I took a three day hike with a friend of mine last Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday and had a great time.  It;s nice to play Dan'l Boone once in a while.  It certainly makes one appreciate the
comforts of civilization.  We traveled about 40 miles on foot, and when it started to hail, we
hitchhiked another ten miles.  We climbed a mountain (3240 ft. above sea level and about
2100 ft. above the surrounding area) and the view was breathtaking.  We could see about
30 miles in every direction.  It seemed as if we had conquered the world when we surveyed
the surrounding mountains and lakes. 

And not a girl in sight!
