Driving to the Adirondacks Jack and Chet eat Doritos and some sort of spicy, smoked peanuts. When they take the exit off of the highway, they stop and take pictures of the moon and then spend approximately forty-dollars at a Grand Union. They are weary of the money they spend because they spent most of their savings on alcoholic beverages in college, two years ago, and haven't made much money since then. Before going to the campsite, they buy two bundles of fire wood at a gas station. They open two beer bottles as soon as they get to the camp site.They use a lighter and the cement edge of the fire pit. 'The beer is good,' Jack says. When they set up their tents it is dark. They use headlamps. They eat hot dogs and put their feet on the cement hearth of the fire pit. They put the hot dogs into folded slices of wheat bread and put ketchup on them. Jack takes a picture of the cooler of beer, of the moon which comes out squiggly, and a close up of the fire. Before they fall asleep they finish three beers each and a package of eight hot dogs.
