[Illustration: "YES, I AM RUNNING AWAY," SAID THE GIRL IN A TONE OF DESPERATION.]
A spirited young reporter has been tasked with chronicling a daring road adventure for her Camp Fire Girls troop. With a generous uncle’s blessing, two automobiles and a 500‑mile map, the girls set out to prove their self‑reliance, navigating everything from sleepy towns to unexpected breakdowns without leaning on home for help. Their leader, Nyoda, brings seasoned confidence, while the narrator’s witty observations turn each mile into a lively diary entry.
Along the way, the girls discover the thrill of independence, the humor of improvised camping, and the quiet beauty of late‑summer evenings under a blanket of stars. Their camaraderie grows as they trade tricks for staying ahead of each other, share roadside tales, and learn to trust their own judgment. The journey promises a blend of light‑hearted mischief and genuine growth, capturing the essence of youthful exploration on the open road.
