From my journal of 1967:
Ate at Camp McCoy. Left early. Passed into Minnesota and crossed Mississippi River in afternoon. Had "River Crossers" ceremony. Passed through St. Paul. Stopped for lunch at St. Cloud. Stayed at Concordia College in Moorhead, Minn., near the Minn.-North Dakota border. We went to the movies and saw "Hawaii", which was very good, after eating in Sveden House.
I await the ceremonial mud
The main point of this day was the river crossing ceremony. Lucky travelers like me who were crossing the Mississippi River for the first time were inducted into some sort of mystical order dreamed up by our leaders. The impressive ceremony primarily consisted of smearing mud from the banks of the river on our foreheads. That's Harold Snedeker ready to initiate me into the order.
