Meet Dorothy Dale, a quick‑witted girl from Glenwood School who loves a good adventure. When she and her close‑knit circle of friends—Tavia, Nita, Rose‑Mary, and Edna—set out for a weekend camping trip, they hitch a rickety hay wagon and set off into the countryside, trading jokes and playful ribbing as the wheels clatter over uneven ground. Their banter and the charmingly chaotic ride give a vivid picture of early‑twentieth‑century summer fun.
The journey quickly turns lively when the wagon nears a steep hill beside a winding river, and the nervous horses begin to balk. Dorothy’s steady voice cuts through the growing panic, while the girls’ mix of courage and humor keeps the mood afloat despite the looming danger. Listeners are invited to share in the excitement of this wholesome, slightly reckless escapade and wonder how the gang will navigate the unexpected obstacles ahead.
