Camp Shower One mile upstream, or slightly more, a bridge connects deep woods with a scattering of cabins and a rustic, general store. Tourists, distinguished from the fly fishermen by open-neck shirts, gold medallions, and, when female, perfume left unattended in the aisles with wood matches and lantern fuel, lounge out front licking exotic ice cream from cones that narrow to a point. Breasts, with Indian Summer, line the porch like a row of judges about to interrogate motive as I step from my pick-up and approach in hip boots that stop short of the crotch. Looking from left to right I cough, either from shyness or as a response instinctive to close examination. Later, standing in a shower makeshift with clothesline and blankets, I listen as the river chats with Autumn wearing bright and short, rustling dryly down the path. RMW |

I would love to experience this, it has all of the feelings I love, the outdoors, nature, the seasons. It seems to be what I first loved writing about. I really enjoyed reading this. Kathleen |
