the things they carried-7

in this part of the book i read from pages 47 to 50. In this part of the book he talks about where he was driving to get away and get out of being drafted.  He said near dusk he passed through Bemidji and then turned northeast to international falls. He had spent the night in his car behind a closed down gas station half a mile away from the border. In the morning after he gassed up he headed straight west along the rainy river which would separate Minnesota from Canada. He says in the book that separates one life from another. On his way he stopped at an old fishing resort called the Tip Top. He met a man there named Elroy Berdahl. When he got there tourist season was over so it was just them to. He stayed there for 6 days and he spent all his time with Elroy and they ate their meals together talked and everything. They would talk alot like be friends and all until he left. That is what thee few pages are about
