About five o'clock
We have lost no little time here . '' The packing up was not a long job for not much of their equipment had been unloaded . The rest of the day passed uneventfully , the Pony Rider Boys continuing along the range of mountains . About five o'clock they decided to make camp in a valley , beside a stream of clear , cold water . The place was thickly covered with brush and small trees , excepting for a small open space on which the grass grew high and green . They pitched their tent near the stream . This done the boys began gathering dry wood for the campfire which would need a lot of it before the evening came to an end .
