"All the rugged way"

Margaret Welch Dendler

Mollie liked going to camp every year. She loved making new friends and being away from home for a short time. She went to a camp where everyone was a Christian Scientist and relied on God's care. ...

This summer Mollie was especially excited about the horseback riding program. She was just old enough to go on more difficult rides through the beautiful mountains nearby. And she was excited to try out her new riding boots. She signed up for the first overnight trip. It included a horseback ride through the mountains and then a hike up the back of the final peak.

The day of the ride soon came. Mollie pulled on her boots and set off with the counselors and other campers. They went through the forest and up steep trails. Sometimes it was a bit scary to look down.
