    About this ebook

    Frank and Joe do their best to avoid a camping catastrophe in this Hardy Brothers Secret Files adventure.

    Frank and Joe are excited to go camping with their friends in Bayport State Park for the annual “Fun With Camping” event. They are ready for hiking, bonfires, and s’mores—and especially for the tent decorating competition, which the boys are determined to win.

    But just a few nights into the trip, decorations start to go missing. First Frank and Joe hear strange noises outside their tent. Then they see a set of unique footprints at the campsite.

    It seems like someone—or something—is out to sabotage the decorating contest. Can Joe and Frank figure out who the campsite culprit could be?

      Camping Chaos - Franklin W. Dixon

      ¹

      Going Camping

      Dibs on this campsite!" Frank Hardy announced, setting his sleeping bag down.

      Hey, don’t I get a say? We’re sharing a tent, remember? his brother, Joe, reminded him.

      Trust me. This is the perfect spot, Frank insisted.

      Why? Joe asked curiously.

      It faces the east, so the morning sun will warm us up. And there’s lots of moss and leaves, so it’ll be comfortable to sleep on, Frank replied.

      Uh-huh. When did you turn into Mr. Camping Expert? Joe teased him.

      Frank grinned. I read all about it in my camping book. Chapter two, ‘Picking the Ideal Campsite.’

      Their friend Phil Cohen set his own sleeping bag down about ten feet away. "Yeah, well, Chet and I picked an even better spot. We used the new camping app on my cell phone." Phil loved apps, which were like computer programs. He had been obsessed with electronics since he was in first grade.

      "What’s so great about your spot?" Joe asked Phil.

      Well, the ground here slants a little. So if it rains, the water will wash downhill and not form a puddle under our tent, Phil explained. Plus, we have a clear three-hundred-and-sixty-degree view all around us, so we can see any bears or panthers or other predators coming.

      Chet Morton blinked at Phil. B-bears? And p-panthers? he stammered. Um, maybe we should turn around and go home. . . .

      Don’t worry, Chet. There are no bears or panthers in Bayport State Park, Fenton Hardy said quickly. He glanced at his watch. Come on. Let’s get busy with our tents. It’s almost time for the welcome meeting over at the main lodge.

      Mr. Hardy was Frank and Joe’s dad. He had brought the four boys to Bayport State Park for the annual fall Fun with Camping weekend. There would be hiking, canoeing, animal tracking, a tent-decorating contest, and other cool activities.

      Frank pulled his camping book out of his backpack. He opened it to chapter 3, How to Pitch Your Tent. He and Joe had pitched tents before, but it was good to get a refresher.

      The brothers worked efficiently. First they cleared the ground of any rocks and branches that might dig into their backs while they slept. Next they laid down a tarp and smoothed it out with their hands. The tarp was waterproof and would prevent rain and other moisture from seeping in.

      After that they inserted metal rods into their tent and popped it up. They set the structure upright on top of the tarp and staked it into the ground
