The Motor Maids set off for Sunrise Camp, a lofty mountain retreat where the sunrise paints the sky in pink hues. Guided by the enthusiastic Billie, the cousins imagine a comfortable rustic haven—a spacious log house with a breezy sleeping porch, wire screens against insects, and modern khaki skirts and rubber shoes to keep the elements at bay. Their expectations clash with Miss Helen Campbell’s memories of harsh, bug‑filled camping, creating a lively debate about comfort versus adventure.
As the train clatters toward the valley, the girls picture lake‑side walks, shared coffee from polished cups, and evenings spent under towering beams rather than cramped tents. Their banter reveals a mixture of excitement and nervousness, hinting at the bonds that will deepen as they adjust to mountain life. Listeners will be drawn into the gentle humor and heartfelt anticipation that mark the first steps of this charming summer escapade.
