about five o'clock in the afternoon
We did n't go near Saugerties , because we wanted to keep in the country , so we hit down southwest along the road that goes to Woodstock . Then we were going to hike it south past West Hurley so we 'd bunk our noses right into the Ashokan Reservoir . And the next day we were going to spend trying to keep out of Kingston . When it got to be about five o'clock in the afternoon , we hit in from the road to find a good place to camp . Maybe you think that 's easy , but you have to find a place where the drainage is good and where there 's good drinking water . Pretty soon we found a dandy place about a quarter of a mile off the road , and we put up our tent there .
