About This Book

A band of young women motor enthusiasts and their companions establish a mountain camp where they adopt humorous rules and appoint a reluctant lady captain; the narrative follows their daily routines, picnics, hikes, and camp chores, and records minor disasters such as bogging and comic misunderstandings, medical concerns that summon a doctor, culinary experiments with itinerant cooks, and rising tensions culminating in an attack that tests their resourcefulness. Through practical lessons, spirited debates about women’s independence, and shared hardships, the group weathers crises, learns leadership and camaraderie, and ultimately returns home after resolving misunderstandings.
