I found some more parapackers stories so now there are
more than 14. I'll count them later.

Warren Doyle suddenly appeared like some apocalyptic sign in
that lost Ingmer Bamaman classic, "The Seventh Shelter" surreptiously
section hiking solo, seventies-style while twenty bare chests over
the sunny hillside sang Samuel Taylor Coleridge :
Near Derricks Knob Shelter
The Gypsy Hiker Did See,
A Stately Hiker Man
Where AT the sacred trail
ran through mountains measureless to man
down to a sunless tree.
So twice ten miles over fertile ground
with many a curse "23*#!, I thought it said down."
And here were many a sinewy poly-sheet
And there the thumping call of the beater bird.
Meanwhile back at the shelter.......
Sal carefully moved the fifth trap into position as Boo Boo and
the Boy Scouts said a silent prayer to The Mouse King:
Thump, thump thump went the beater bird
snap, snap, snap went the traps
flap, flap flap waved the poly wrap.
Further up the trail:
A solitary red heifer "Helga" appeared while twenty bare chests
over the moonlit hillside sang songs of sorrow , songs of pain. Yes, but
just one more mouse did so remain.
Just outside of Damascus:
The tiny parapackers were all dressed in formal wear as Milo
Garcia sang, " It's not unusual to go out with anyone" trying so hard to
do his best Tom Jones impersonation. Warren Doyle clapped hard
still trying to decide if he can lead this odd group of parapackers and
their comical leader. It would be his greatest challenge yet.
Back at the shelter:
The Mouse King hoisted up his massive pack.
