It pays well to take some time to find a good spot for a camp. If you
are only to stop one night, it matters not so much; but even then you
should camp on a dry spot near wood and water, and where your horse, if
you have one, can be well cared for. Look out for rotten trees that may
fall; see that a sudden rain will not drown you out; and do not put your
tent near the road, as it frightens horses.
