  6. At the Lincoln Park Zoo, camping out under the monkeys

    The campfire was in a metal pit, under a great, wide roof. The tents were pitched on a well-tended lawn, with help from people who work for an outdoors store. Bears were a threat only if someone had forgotten to lock an enclosure door.

  10. This side of 'Paradise,' with Echols, Davis
