`` Are n't we all going together ? '' Then Nyoda outlined her plan . Believing that the girls would collect more adventures by going in pairs instead of all together , besides the fun of following a trail marked out by leaders , she had arranged the girls two by two . The first pair , who would be the pathfinders and blaze the trail for those coming after , would leave at ten o'clock , the next pair twenty minutes later , then the next , and so on . Their ponchos would be brought in a wagon over the main road and left for them ; they would buy their supplies for supper and breakfast at the last village they passed through . Their lunches , they would carry with them . The first two were to buy potatoes and start the fire and put them in , while the rest would bring the other supplies .
