Kenny, Jr., though essentially unaware of this himself, was very much like his dad, Kenny, Sr. True to his word, and much as his father has tried his best to always honor his promises, he was keeping the vow he had made to himself with regard to returning to his father in California. He was seated near a window on the plane now, his heart beating irregularly; and, at this time, instead of enjoying the tranquility of a plane ride in his usual state of slumber, was reliving in his mind vivid imagery of a weekend just days before his departure spent with Grandpa Steve and Uncle Jeff camping out and "exploring" while in campgrounds very much similar to those adrift in Kenny, Sr.'s memory. Kenny, Jr.'s twenty-third birthday was just days away, as was Thanksgiving and all of the holiday festivities that went with it. Kenny, Jr., though this was not what was originally the plan, had ended up spending close to a year in Cherry Hill Meadows, that quaint yet endearing New England town where Kenny, Sr. had spent a good part of his early youth. The campground that his father had gone to with his greatgrandfather had been converted to a sleepaway camp. So Grandpa Steve came up with the idea that, instead, the three would go to Spirited Halos, a serene yet strikingly picturesque clothing-optional resort just five miles east of the neighboring town's abandoned water well. Grandpa Steve, for reasons Kenny, Jr. could not surmise, was pretending to be ignorant of Uncle Jeff's dappling with nudism. The irony was that Kenny, Jr. knew all about Uncle Jeff's history of nudism and Uncle Jeff himself was quite open with both his nephew and brother about his colorful past. Well, perhaps it was a full moon at work, though more likely Grandpa Steve was sensing some of Kenny, Jr.'s uneasiness and simply did not want to scare his grandson off. Echoes of Cherry Hill Meadows and nearby Forest Grove were resounding as the three set out on their hastily-prepared jaunt. Grandpa Steve, still in some ways adjusting to life as a widower, was in a wistful mood. Every time he looked at his grandson, Kenny, Jr., he was reminded of the time that he had missed out on with his own sons. Kenny, Jr. was still virtually a human clone of Kenny, Sr., though age had added a bit of the softness of his mom's features into the mix. Grandpa Steve could not help but find himself adoring, simply adoring, the dirty blonde hair, freckles, and muscular, nicely toned, build of his grandson, now about 6-feet tall. Kenny, Jr., on his part, was grappling with the strangeness and simultaneous titillating quality of his new sexual relationship with both Grandpa Steve and Uncle Jeff. He wondered: Is this love? Or is this simply infatuation and lust at work? He could not help but muse that this certainly was not covered in his summer psychology course in college. Details now jumbled together in the heart of Kenny, Jr.'s mind were now resurfacing: A shadowy hike on a steep nature trail within an hour of arrival, followed by the wearisome pitching of a tent that could only have been erected with Uncle Jeff's input and the renting of a small cabin mainly just in case weather conditions in the area made the "tent thing" and roughing it folly. Grandpa Steve had insisted upon traditional: This meant hot dogs, potato chips, sauerkraut, roasting marshmallows over a campfire, and, of course, sleeping bags spread out across the makeshift "floor" of blankets of their tent. Potato salad and coleslaw lumped in together in one of the coolers added a nice, homy touch to the festivities. Kenny, Jr. was nervous the first day there, visibly so. He understood that this was a family resort, a family clothing-optional resort with a wholesome nonjudgmental atmosphere where individuals were supposedly respectful of each other's privacy. Yet he felt more than a bit overwhelmed by everything, the sight of nude men, women, and children on the nature trail and in fact almost all about. He tried not to but he slipped into his own insecurities and found himself feeling self-conscious about his own body. His nudity did not concern himself personally but others' perception of him being nude did. Grandpa Steve and Uncle Jeff, to make Kenny, Jr. feel more at ease in these uninhibited surroundings, decided that skinny-dipping would be just the thing for their merry trio. After returning from their swim, Grandpa Steve and Uncle Jeff helped Kenny, Jr. towel off. Kenny, Jr. was very much enjoying the loving caresses of his grandfather and uncle as they did so. Kenny, Jr. glowed in his new-found sense of freedom; and gradually found himself letting go, just letting go. Yet, at the same time, he was feeling a bit worn out from the day. So he let his uncle and granddad know that he wanted to go to sleep, slipped on a pair of white bikini briefs that nicely accentuated his "package", and slipped into the sleeping bag. Yes, that one, great Grandpa's extra-large sleeping bag, the very same oversized bag still mildly permeated with the smell of tobacco from great Grandpa's pipe. Kenny, Jr. once again purposefully inhaled the sack's aroma deeply, and he was just beginning to drift off into sleep while basking in the comforting warmth of its flannel when suddenly he was abruptly awakened by the feel of a palm tightly covering his mouth, apparently to muffle any scream he would make. Kenny, Jr. began to sweat in panic, as he felt his briefs quickly pulled down, virtually ripped right off of him.
