Overview

In 1975 seven boys, ages 14 & 15, take a trip 200 miles from home deep into the Northern Michigan forest. They use various forms of transportation to make their trek; hitchhike, bicycle, canoe to reach their destination, a secluded cabin in a private reserve. Without parental supervision and virtually alone on thousands of acres, the boys consume alcohol and drugs. Their journey is further complicated when they are retrieved for the return trip home by inebriated chaperones. While planning their trip during their final year in Junior High School, they experience an array of serious situations from a classmate killed to arrests. The story is during a time in America when personal safety, freedom, independence and maturity are taken for granted, as told by Corny a vulnerable teenager wrestling in the purgatory of adolescence. The events that occur during this period would be difficult to imagine, if not true. A must read to believe or to re-live a historic period in American life.
