Copyright 2003 by billwstories Chapter 4 - From tourist to campers. July 2003 We began the next day by going to Jewel Cave, which is the third longest cave in the world, currently having more than 129 miles of mapped and surveyed passageways. However, this is believed to be only a small percentage of what is actually believed to exist there. The cave was discovered in 1900 and in 1908 a Presidential Proclamation established it as a national monument. I elected to take the boys on the Lantern Tour, which is a 1930's style adventure through the caves. You enter and exit through their historic entrance and travel over an unpaved trail. The tour is quite strenuous, because it is a half mile long, includes steep wooden steps, there is a great deal of bending and stooping, and the only light provided is that from the lamps everyone carries. Due to the fact that they limit these tours to 20 or fewer people, they decided to take my family alone, with no outsiders included. At first, I was worried about Vinnie being able to handle this, so I asked him about it, and he said he wanted to try. He asked in Jake or I could carry him on the steps, which I said shouldn't be a problem, and he thought he might not have trouble with the bending and stooping, due to the fact he was on the short side. He said if worse came to worse, he'd crawl through some of those areas, if he had to. Seeing he was so determined to try, I went ahead with our plans. The tour took just under two hours to complete, and was quite interesting. >From past experiences, I had the boys take jackets with them, for which many were grateful, as there was a constant temperature of forty-nine degrees in the caves. I would recommend that no one with claustrophobia ever take this tour, as it often seemed very confined and restrictive. After we finished up there, we went to see the Crazy Horse Memorial. This work is still in progress, but you can see the model of what the finished product will look like. The work was begun in 1948, by sculptor Korczak Ziolkowski, who died in 1982, but his wife and family are continuing the project. We did a whirlwind visit of this site, as we had one more stop to go, but the boys still found it very interesting. After leaving the Crazy Horse site, our bus drove us to Mt. Rushmore, for our final stop of the day. Although everyone knows the site of the presidents' heads carved into the side of the mountain, what they may not know is it took about fourteen years to complete. Gutzon Borglum and four hundred workers sculpted the sixty-foot busts of Presidents George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln. They were selected to represent the first one hundred and fifty years of American history, though many may not understand why. Washington was selected because he was the father of our country and represented the struggle for independence. Jefferson was honored as the author of the Declaration of Independence and for the expansion of the new nation, through his Louisiana Purchase. Teddy Roosevelt was selected because he saw through the completion of the Panama Canal, which linked the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, making travel from one coast of the country to the other more accessible. Lincoln was selected for preserving the union and for expanding the ideals of freedom and equality for all. After looking at Mt. Rushmore from a distance, we decided to take the half-mile or so Presidential Trail. This is a combination walking trail and boardwalk, which provides a spectacular and unique close-up view of the various sculptures, as seen from below. Using a pair of binoculars, it seemed as if you were standing right below each of those enormous heads, looking up their nostrils. At the end of the trail was located the Sculptor's Studio, which contains unique plaster models and tools relating to the sculpting process. Again, this was an interesting stop and something you really have to see in person to appreciate fully. Once we finished there, we got back on the bus and rode to Rapid City, where we planned to spend the night. We didn't do all that much that evening, mainly watched some movies on the televisions in our motel rooms, but no one seemed to mind. I knew we'd have a long day on the road the next day, so I decided to let the boys unwind first by taking them to the Flags and Wheels Amusement Park. I thought this would be a good place to go, because they had things geared to the older boys too, not just for the younger ones. They featured sprint car racing here, which are like go-carts on steroids, but you needed a driver's license to race one of those. They also had less souped up go-carts and bumper boats for the non-drivers, but they also offered batting cages and paint ball fighting. Once everyone had raced as much as they wanted, or used the batting cages, we organized a massive paint ball war for just our family. I had made sure everyone wore old clothes today, just for this reason, and soon we were divided into two teams and waging war on each other. Jake and I even played on opposite sides, and then we split the boys by age groups, also pitting lovers against one another. It was a blast and I think everyone had a great time. We actually did this twice, so those who were put out early in the first war would have a chance to do better on the second go around. By the time we were done, the boys were exhausted, but not nearly as much as Jake and me, and we were all ready for the long ride to Sioux Falls. We cleaned up as best we could before boarding the bus, and then we kicked back, listened to music playing on the bus' radio, read, or napped along the way. It was getting late by the time we reached Sioux Falls, so we checked into our rooms, cleaned up as quickly as we could, and then went out to dinner. The boys were fairly subdued this evening, but not enough to prevent them from trying to evoke reactions from the other diners, by making sure everyone knew we were a family unit. This sometimes got uncomfortable for us, as even casual observers pick up on the fact that there are two dads with this group, and not a mother and father, but thankfully the majority of the people did not let this bother them or create a problem. In fact, many would go out of their way to stop by our table and ask about how we came together, or comment about how they enjoyed seeing us all interacting so well and having a good time, without the boys becoming rowdy or rambunctious. I usually told those people they were welcome to visit us at our home anytime, if they wanted to witness the boys in action in their natural habitat, but no one ever accepted my invitation. However, Jake and I were both told that it was wonderful what we were doing, raising all the boys, and that it was apparent we were having a very positive influence on our sons. The next morning we got up early, had a large breakfast, and then got ready for another long ride, but this time to Minneapolis. I had told the boys that we were going to see a ballgame there, at the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome, between the Minnesota Twins and the Oakland Athletics. It was a night game, so we had plenty of time, but I suggested we stop for a late lunch and eat heartily at that time, and then we'd just have some hot dogs and other things at the park, later. They seemed to like that idea, which made the long ride seem to go a little easier. We checked into our hotel before going to the game, to make sure we got settled in, as we knew we'd be staying here two nights. We also managed to get to the park early, so we could walk around and check it out first, but we also wanted to watch batting practice. The boys wanted to see if they could get any autographs, from players on both teams, so I let them roam about in small groups. Everyone returned to his seat before the National Anthem was played, and then we settled in to watch the game. It didn't take long for the vendors to acknowledge us, once word got out how many hot dogs, sodas, popcorn, and other items we'd purchase at one time, so no one was about to go hungry. The boys consumed a large variety of items, as they enjoyed the action, although the game was not very close. The biggest redeeming value was that it was a high scoring game, so there was plenty of action and some tremendous offensive action. When the game was over, we went back to our rooms, but not before I informed the boys we'd be spending the next day at the Mall of America, where we'd do a little back-to-school shopping. Most of the boys seemed to really like that idea, so it wasn't hard to get them to go to bed quickly or up the following morning. My biggest challenge was keeping them from just heading off on their own, as they were quite excited about seeing the mall and doing some shopping. The Mall of America was huge, built on the 78-acre site of the old Metropolitan Stadium, which used to be home to both the Twins and the Vikings. It opened in August of 1992 and has over 500 stores, but we tried to stay together as much as possible. We let the boys suggest which stores we'd check out, as we made our rounds, and then we'd go in and see what that store had to offer. Before we were even halfway through the mall, we were already becoming loaded down with packages, but the boys weren't complaining about having to carry them all, so we kept going. However, when we stopped for lunch at the food court, we ran into our driver and talked him into letting us take our bags out and locking them in the bus with our other belongings. After locking everything away, we went back inside and got something to eat, and once we were full, we set about to finish our shopping. I was just about dragging, by the time we were done, so we made our way back to the hotel and rested for a bit, before we clean up and went out to eat. It was a nice meal, but it was also the last we would share with Mark and Frankie for a couple of weeks. Mark had to go home and return to work, and Frankie decided to go back and continue his job search, as he really wanted to land a position in law enforcement. After we finished, we all ordered special desserts, and I even allowed the older boys to have an after dinner drink with it, before we went back to our rooms and turned in for the evening. The next morning after breakfast, we took Mark and Frankie to the airport to catch their flight, and then the rest of us headed northeast, toward a little place named Ely, Minnesota. We were leaving from there to begin a two-week camping and canoeing trip thru some of the surrounding lakes, and we would go up as far as the Canadian border. It was mid-afternoon when we finally arrived at the outfitter's base, and they had everything ready for us. We merely unloaded the backpacks and the camping gear we had brought with us, before we began dividing up all the gear. Some of the boys would carry one of the backpacks we brought with us, as each pair of boys put all their clothing and other necessities into a single backpack, while everyone else would carry things we picked up here. The outfitters had the food and tents already stored in several other backpacks, with the sleeping bags fastened to them, and we quickly assigned these items to those not already carrying the clothes. We tried to make sure we distributed everything equitably, so the bigger boys carried the larger and heavier gear, and then our outfitter lead us to the six canoes we were going to use on this trip. They also gave me a map, placed in a waterproof case, and they quickly showed us the route they had planned for us follow. They then went on to explain how far we should go each day, so we'd be back on time, and then they gave us a few other essentials, such as wooden matches to start our fires with. These were put in the waterproof case with the map, to keep them dry for when they would be needed. After some general instruction about what to watch out for and other things we would need to know, we were given a quick demonstration on the appropriate way for one-man or two-men to carry a canoe over a portage. A portage is when you had to travel overland, to get around areas where the water wasn't deep enough for a fully loaded canoe to travel or when you were moving from one water-source to another. We were told we'd be navigating many of these, ranging from thirty yards to over 300 yards in length, which brought groans from my poor, abused family. I told them to 'suck it up,' because we had to get moving, and we put the canoes in the water and shoved off to start our adventure, with two to three of us in each canoe. Due to the fact we were getting a late start today, which the outfitters had taken into account when planning our route, the first campsite wasn't very far away. This short outing would give us a chance to cross a small portage, practice setting up camp, and let us fix our first meal in the out of doors, in preparation for the more difficult legs of the trip. Protectively and instinctively, I kept a close eye on Vinnie, wondering how he'd handle the portage, but with Kevin's help and using his crutches, he managed to do just fine. Even though his determination and ability to adjust still continues to impress and amaze me, I'm glad that he is like that and doesn't let his handicap overcome him. When we reached the small island on which we were going to spend the night, we were all thankful this hadn't been a full day's journey. By that time we were all beginning to feel some muscles we hadn't used in a while, while many of our hands were a little tender from using the paddles to propel the canoes, and the weight of the gear and canoes had taken it's toll on our endurance levels. Even the boys who thought they were in fairly good shape were showing signs of dragging, so we took a quick breather before we set up the tents and began dinner. By the time our sleeping quarters were ready and we had finished eating, everyone was ready to call it a day. I asked who wanted to go out and fish for breakfast with me the next morning and I wasn't surprised to see I only had a couple of boys take me up on my offer, as the other's preferred to sleep in. I informed them I'd wake them between 5 and 5:30, as I would set my watch so we could get up when the fish were biting, but we'd only take out two canoes. I'd be in one, with Jake in the other, and the boys could split up between them. When the alarm went off the next morning, I first made sure Jake was getting up and then I went to wake the boys who said they wanted to go with us. We gathered our gear, set out in the two canoes, and we fished for almost two hours before we went back in to shore. We had a few fish we'd kept, and Jake said he'd clean them for us, so we could add them to our breakfast menu. While he was doing that, I started the fire and began to get everything else ready. Once the smell of the food started wafting through the air, heads began to peek out between the various tent flaps, and boys began to make their way over for some grub. It was kind of comical to watch them wander around in various states of dress, but I guess the growling stomachs were a stronger motivating force than the normal teen instinct to sleep as late as possible. Soon all of the boys were moving about and filling up with a variety of items, and I was surprised at not only how many of them had some of the fish with their meal, but also how many even came back for more. We soon finished eating, struck the camp, and double-checked to make sure we left nothing behind and that there were no embers remaining from the fire. I always make sure we leave a place better than we found it, and once I was certain of that, we began the next leg of this adventure. The water in the lakes and connecting streams was crystal clear and the boys were tempted to scoop the water out in their canteens and drink it directly. After warning them not to do that and telling them the reasons for it, they heeded my advice. Now, we continued on, but I noticed that everyone was making sure to enjoy the fantastic scenery that surrounded us. We kept going until around 2 p.m., when we headed toward shore to stop and eat. Although we were once again tired and a little sore from the physical activity, it didn't seem to be as bad as it had been the day before. We had even navigated a portage of around 200 yards, and everyone seemed to do quite well with it. After lunch we struck out again, and we were just passing a small island when what sounded like a gunshot split the silence. Many of us were startled and jumped in our seats, quickly looking in various directions for hunters. However, after surveying the area, I quickly advised the boys the noise was not what they thought, but merely a beaver warning other beavers of our approach, by whacking its tail on the water. After the boys regained their composure and had a laugh over each other's reactions, we kept going until we neared the spot where we were scheduled to spend our second night. This time we pitched our tents about ten yards from the shore of the lake, and then we began to prepare our dinner. The boys had a little more energy tonight and I could see they weren't about to go directly to bed this evening. As we continued to sit around the fire, they began to beg me to tell them one of my stories, so I had to quickly come up with something that would suffice. Seeing there was so much water around, I focused in on one specific idea, hurriedly fleshing it out in my mind, so I could share it with the boys. When I thought I was prepared, I began to tell my recently concocted tale. "Well, when I first contacted our outfitters, they warned me that a few years ago a couple had returned from Florida with five baby alligators they had brought back with them. They thought they could keep them and maybe make some money by charging people to see them up close and personal. Within a short time, however, the gators had grown so large they were becoming a threat to the family and neighborhood pets, so they brought them out to one of the lakes and released them. Seeing there are no natural predators to these creatures in this area, and with the abundance of food available to them, the gators grew rapidly, becoming more aggressive in the process. Soon they were attacking beaver, geese and other animals that dared to share their lake, and they even began to lie in wait for squirrels, rabbits, deer, bear, and other animals coming down for a drink. Eventually these alligators became so fearless that the tried to attack people in canoes and even come up on shore at night, dragging people from their tents and down to the water, where they could deal with them better. "I don't think this is the lake they mentioned, as I think they said that one was more to our west, but if those alligators have been having babies, I'm sure they'd be branching out and making their way to new places. If they didn't, they would put a great strain on the food supply of that lake, and then they'd HAVE to move on. However, I don't think we have to worry, but it wouldn't hurt to keep your eyes open just in case." I left it at that, not certain who, if any of the boys, believed my story, but I'm sure some did. I didn't bother to tell them I'd made the whole thing up, or that the gators wouldn't be able to survive a harsh Minnesota winter, when the lakes freeze over. They wanted a story, so I gave them one, and I know the scarier those stories are, the more they appreciate them, so I tried not to disappoint them. As the boys headed to their tents, I saw several of them looking around as they walked to their sleeping area, and I heard later that a couple of them even checked their sleeping bags before they got in them. The next few days were much the same as the last and we hadn't seen any other people out and about since the afternoon we left the outfitter's place. We did see more than our share of wildlife, most from long range, but our biggest thrill came when we saw an eagle soaring in the sky, and we were able to watch it land in its aerie, way up in a huge dead tree. It had been great watching it fly around in the sky, its huge wings catching the warmer air pockets and floating its great body effortlessly above us. When it landed in its aerie, it did so with a minimum of exertion or impact to the lofty nesting area. During these past few days the boys had done much more than just watch wildlife, however, becoming a little primitive themselves. They had done a great deal of skinny-dipping in the various lakes we camped on and they often ran around the campsite itself with nothing more than some footwear on. Although that sort of activity has never bothered me, I noticed it did make Jake a little uncomfortable, out here in the open, as he continually scanned the lake for signs of unexpected visitors. Also with the quiet that blanketed the area, except for the sounds of a few crickets, frogs, or an occasional owl, the sounds we overheard from some of the boys' nightly sessions left little to our imagination. On more than a couple of instances we had to stifle laughs over the cries of ecstasy emitted during a heated session, but it was good they were enjoying themselves. We had almost reached the end of our first week in the wilderness when we noticed a storm approaching on the horizon. We quickly detoured to an island on the lake we were currently on, set up camp quickly, and then planned on waiting out the storm. We had just barely finished our preparations when another canoe appeared, and suddenly headed toward our island. In it were a mother, father, and their two children, a girl about fourteen or fifteen, and a boy probably in the twelve to thirteen age bracket. They quickly asked if we minded if they shared the island during the storm, and we informed them we would welcome their company. After looking about and examining our family, they wanted to know if we were a scouting troop. None of us laughed, as we were used to such questions, but we told them we'd explain later, but for now we needed to help them set up first. It appeared the rain would start falling shortly, and we wanted to make sure they were all safe and snug throughout whatever we were about to encounter. They agreed, and then many of the boys, Jake, and I all pitched in to help them set up rapidly. We had barely finished getting them ready, when the first drops began to fall. The storm was a violent one, with sheets of rain slamming into the outer surface of our tents. The flashes of lightning were extremely bright, and the thunder rumbled and vibrated throughout our tents and bodies. We even heard the lightning strike somewhere close by, but none of us went out to investigate what was hit, though some of the boys had been tempted. This terrible storm lasted for over an hour, before the rain began to slow from a downpour to a heavy drizzle, but it still wasn't something you wanted to go out into just yet. I think the boys would have liked to run around nude in the rain, if it wasn't for our unexpected company, but they were also not sure the lightning had ended either, so they stayed put. This situation lasted for about another 30 minutes, before the storm stopped completely and the sun began to peek out from behind the clouds. Once it was over, we all slowly began to emerge from our shelters. As we all came out into the very soggy campsite, we began to chat. We discovered this family was heading back into Ely, having been out on their own for just over two weeks now. Part of the reason they choose this type of vacation was to help their son earn some merit badges for his scouting troop. After they filled us in about themselves, they wanted to know more about us. We told them our story, but at first they didn't believe what they heard and thought we were just pulling their legs. Eventually we convinced them we were indeed a family, and then we answered a ton of questions for them, mostly from the children. Once this process was over, we spent the remainder of the day with them, as we all decided to spend the night there before striking out the following morning. Some of my straight boys became friendly with the daughter, while Andrew was thrilled to have someone around his own age to pal around with. The parents, Jake, and I spent a great deal of time talking about our respective families and our trips, while the kids went off and had some fun. Before they left, I warned my straight boys that nothing sexual was to happen, and they reluctantly agreed, otherwise I told them they'd have to stay within eyesight of us. I guess the boys and their new friends used this time to investigate the island, but Andrew decided to use this time to investigate his new friend. He managed to get the boy to slip off with him, to an area away from the others, including us adults, and he began to ask the boy various questions. At first they started off innocently, about what kind of things he liked, what grade he was in school, and topics like that, but soon he focus changed, and now he asked the boy if he had ever seen other boys or girls naked or if he'd ever fooled around. The boy admitted that he had to both questions, and then asked Andrew if he'd ever done anything. Andrew was quick to explain that he had, but then he swore the boy to secrecy before he told him about our family. The boy seemed to be amazed and surprised by all he heard, but it seemed to encourage him to loosen up a bit as well. Now the boy asked Andrew if he wanted to do anything with him, and when Andrew agreed, they found a secluded spot and quickly undressed. The boy had never seen an uncircumcised penis before and Andrew had to explain to him about the differences. The boy was fascinated by it and asked Andrew if he could touch it, and Andrew quickly informed him he could do whatever he wanted with it. Without hesitation, and with great enthusiasm, the boy began to explore Andrew's penis, pulling the foreskin back and forth, constantly exposing the head and then sheathing it again. All of this attention began to get to Andrew, and it wasn't long before he was sporting wood. This was all the encouragement the other boy needed, and soon he was masturbating Andrew, seemingly enjoying this act with his new friend. While Andrew enjoyed the stimulation, he examined the other boy carefully. He noticed the boy was cut, quite a bit bigger than he was in that area, although the boy was a few months younger than Andrew, and he already had a budding ring of pubic hairs over his dick. Even though Andrew was intrigued with viewing the boy's assets, it only depressed him further about his own lack of physical maturity. When the boy finished bringing Andrew to his dry orgasm, Andrew asked the boy if he wanted him to do the same for him, or if he wanted to be sucked off instead. Seeing the boy had never experienced oral sex before, he was eager to try it, so Andrew began to lick around the head of his penis and the boy became extremely hard within seconds. Andrew continued to lick up and down his shaft, and then he ran his tongue over the surface of the boy's scrotum, before sucking on his testicles. The boy was moaning quite loudly, and Andrew stopped for a second to tell him to keep it quiet, and then he slipped his head over the helmet and began to nod up and down on his rod. The boy began to thrust his hips up and down, to match Andrew's movements, and it didn't take very long before he arched his back, shoved his penis as far into Andrew's mouth as it would go, and released a few spurts of warm boy juice down Andrew's throat. Once his balls had been drained, he collapsed back onto the ground, silently savoring the moment. When he recovered, he thanked Andrew, told him how wonderful it had been, and then they decided they had to get dressed and head back before anyone discovered they had been missing for too long. As they walked back to where we were talking, I think I was the only one who noticed the never-fading grin the other boy was wearing, and then I realized I had forgotten to give Andrew the same warning I had given the others. I hoped this wouldn't create a problem, though I suspected the boy wasn't about to admit what had just happened to the rest of his family. The two seemed inseparable after that time. Later that afternoon, I did corner Andrew about what had happened, and he explained the whole thing in detail to me. After he did that, he went on to lament once more about the fact he wasn't showing any signs of reaching puberty, and explained how much more mature his new friend was. Once more we discussed those factors again, with me telling him he was probably just going to be a late-bloomer, but it did little to ease his concerns. I did what I could to alleviate his worries, but in the end I found that sending him off with his new friend was the best thing I could do to help him forget his problems. After dinner, both boys came up to us and asked if they could sleep in the same tent tonight, and at first his parents were a little reluctant, but eventually they gave in to his demands. I also had some concerns, but I figured I'd pull Andrew aside and explain them to him later, but now we had to determine what the sleeping arrangements would be. Since the father had been sharing a tent with his son, and the mother stayed with the daughter, he suggested that he could sleep in the tent with his wife and daughter for this one night, letting the boys have the other tent on their own. I'm not so sure he would have agreed to it if he suspected what might go on in there, but everyone seemed satisfied, so that's the way it was left. Later I spoke to Andrew, asking him what was going on between the two of them, and he told me the other boy had told him that he wanted to try some more things later. I told him they would have to wait until everyone else was asleep, and they wouldn't be able to make any noise, and he would have to make sure the other boy knew he couldn't say or do anything later that might bring this to his parents' attention. He said he would, and I felt that at their age it would be merely brushed off as youthful experimentation, if they were discovered, so I felt I had given them enough of a warning. As it began to grow dark, we built a nice campfire, and then the boys decided to tell our new companions some of the ghost stories I had told them on previous occasions. They were smart enough to select the non-sexual stories, and the son and daughter seemed to enjoy these tales, though I could tell their parents weren't quite as comfortable with some of the gory content they entailed. No one stopped the stories from continuing, however, and after several had been told, we decided it was time to turn in for the evening. Andrew and the boy went to their tent and I guess they stripped down right away, fondling each other while they waited for most of the rest of us to fall asleep. Once they thought it was safe, Andrew showed the boy how to sixty-nine, because the boy had said he wanted to try to suck Andrew too. Now they licked and slurped on each other, with the other boy wanting to try everything he could. However, he was soon distracted and quit working on Andrew, as his own climax approached. He was so consumed with the sensations coursing through his body that he could no longer think about what he had been doing to Andrew and merely concentrated on his own pleasure. Once again he began to make various guttural noises and Andrew quickly stopped to warn him to be quiet, but when the boy didn't hush, Andrew merely put his hand over the boy's mouth, to muffle his sounds. This continued until the boy eventually reached the point of no return and spewed his seed into Andrew's mouth. After he came back to his senses, the boy apologized to Andrew about having stopped taking care of him, and then he insisted on finishing Andrew off too. Andrew readily accepted his offer, settled back, and let the boy do what he wanted with him. A bit ineptly, but very enthusiastically, the boy began to try to do the things to Andrew that he remembered Andrew doing to him. After a few warnings about things he should do a little differently, the boy began to get into a groove and soon Andrew's body was stiffening and shaking, as his dry orgasm slammed home. Once Andrew had sufficient time to enjoy his afterglow, the boys snuggled together and went to sleep as new best friends. The next morning I went to check on them before the others awoke, not wanting anyone else to discover them in any uncompromising situations. They were still both naked, so I had them put their underwear back on, and then I let them go back to sleep, before I went to start the campfire and make some coffee. I was surprised the boy hadn't been upset about me seeing him naked, but he never flinched or said a word, but I was glad I got to them before anyone else did. As I sat and enjoyed a cup or two of my fresh brew, Jake came out to join me, and then we woke up our fishermen and did a little fishing before the others were up and moving about. By the time we came back in, everyone was dressed and getting ready to move on, and our temporary companions nearly finished packing up their gear. Jake and I cooked up the fish, so everyone could have some with what ever else we decided to have for breakfast, and then we began to pack up too, but not before saying good-bye to our new friends. We had all enjoyed their company and the boys were sad to see them go. Some of the boys were reacting because they hated to see the daughter leave, but I could tell Andrew and their son were having the most difficulty parting company. The boys stood next to each other, gave each other a couple of hugs, and I think there were tears in both of their eyes, as the family got in their canoe and paddled away. I made sure Andrew had some time to deal with this, by making sure I kept the others busy getting everything ready for us to shove off again. I walked up to him before I had the others get into the canoes, to ask him how he was holding up. Although he still seemed to be a bit weepy, he said he was fine, so I didn't push him on this issue. Before I left him, however, he told me he had his new friend's email address, postal address, telephone number, and several other important stats, and he hoped maybe the boy could come stay with us sometime next year. I told him we'd see how things went, but I couldn't make any promises until I talked to his parents, but that seemed to suffice. At least I hadn't told him 'no', and I believe that was his biggest fear up to that point. Now we all got in our canoes and moved on, as we had a one more day to continue in the same direction we had been heading, before we started to loop back and begin our trek in, toward our starting point. This was because we were about set to start the second week of our camping trip, which meant our time out here was half over, so we'd soon be heading back home to get ready to start another year of school. * * * * * * * * If you have enjoyed reading this story, you will find other stories by me at 'BW's Rainbow Youth Connection,' at http://bwsryc.gayauthors.org/ You can also locate my stories by clicking on the Nifty author link and scrolling down to "BW".
