From the cave the river took us back into the jungle and new territory. There was a large raft that we were able to load the donkeys on.

Rachel fixed her glassed well enough to see out of one eye. She claims that as soon as she put them on she caught a glimpse of a figure in the bushes, yet she swears it was a monkey with binoculars! I think the heat must be getting to her!

I ran out of socks a few days ago. Why didn't I think to get some from the train wreck? These wool socks are itchy and my feet stink like you can't imagine.


I think I could have skipped the part about the socks... but so far I have been getting closer to the professor if his pages are any indication.

We followed the river for most of the day yesterday until we found a small trail heading west. That night a monkey in the jungle was screaming loudly all night. When I finally yelled back for him to shut-up, I was answered by TWO monkeys screaming loudly. Three would have been too much to bear so I held my tongue. I don't think I slept at all.


Somehow I'm not surprised by this with the monkeys. I followed the river and found the trail heading west and followed it.

This morning we found the last section of map rolled up and stuffed in the coffee jar. My jelly beans have gone missing. Someone has a sweet tooth and a twisted sense of humor.

The completed map took us through a section of wild jungle that had me wondering if we were being led astray. Just when I was ready to turn around I emerged onto a bluff above where several small rivers ended in waterfalls. There in the center was the Beetle Temple!

I was so dumbstruck by the temple I didn't notice Rachel was missing. I doubled back and eventually found her tracks but they didn't veer off our trail, they just stopped as if she were vaporized donkey and all. I made my way back to the bluff, all the while watching the sky for Rachel and her donkey. I'll camp here tonight in case she is nearby. All I can do now is wait.


This must be when Rachel was jumped and brought back to the campsite I found her at. The professor must have gone on ahead, as I follow the rest of the map that was with the journal page and I was blown away from the beetle temple. I hope the professor is inside the temple.


SB/Kierra: We hope you have enjoyed the seventh chapter!

Annie: Sorry if it is short, I couldn't think of anything else to write. Review please and be nice with it.

SB/Kierra: Cya!

Annie: Bye!
