" I seem to have lost the directions to a cabin I was looking for" he said with a grin. " I'm looking for Big Springs Cabins".
" Yes, I know where it is" the young clerk exclaimed as he began to help the next customer. " It is just ten miles up North Highway 4 and you'll see a sign on your right".
" Thank you" he replied as the young sacker wheeled the big steel cart out the double doors toward the white van.
