It was an extraordinarily beautiful summer day, blue skies with fluffy white clouds dotting the horizon. Gregg looked up, feeling the warmth of the sun on his face and thought: It's going to be a great weekend.
"Let's go, baby!" Gregg yelled to April. He was more than impatient to get started on their camping trip. He had planned it with care and consideration and he was pleased that the weather was cooperating. At last, he heard her steps approaching. He loved the way she walked, bouncy with a bit of impatience to her step.
With a twinkle in her eye she said, "I'm ready, slowpoke. What are YOU waiting for?"
Gregg swatted her playfully on the bum and said, "Get that cute ass in the Nissan and let's fly!"
The route they were taking was circuitous but scenic. They both loved to drink in nature in all her glory. They listened to music and talked and laughed, always touching. Gregg and April's sexual chemistry was palpable and they needed to merely exchange a glance for both of them to become aroused. It was something that neither questioned: it had always been that way since they first met. They were comfortable with their own sexuality and each other's. The conversation flowed between them like fine wine with natural pauses and then an exuberant resumption. They rambled on about the state of the country, the best book they ever read, and other such eclectic subjects. There was compatibility between them that they, as a couple, often took for granted. What made it more unique was that they didn't have to work at it: it just 'was.'
They approached the camping area: Spearfish Canyon, home of 100 Waterfalls. April giggled at the name and decided she was going to count the waterfalls and see if indeed there were 100 or if it was just a marketing ploy. Gregg rolled his eyes at her and poked her in the ribs, making her laugh and wink at him. They got their gear together and started hiking the ½ mile to their site. Gregg had picked this campsite with special care surrounded by not only a magnificent view of the Black Hills but within walking distance of one of the larger falls and the biggest bonus: it was secluded. The two of them unpacked their gear and set up the tent and all the supplies. April teased Gregg about his methodology...so precise and orderly. She was the organized one in the main, but in the "wilds," Gregg was the one in charge. The tent was set up in no time, the camping gear put away and they were ready for a hike.
The hiking path was single file so Gregg led the way. Glancing back at her and chatting and smiling, they walked in compatible silence for a while. While each took in the majesty of the woods and relaxed into their own little worlds, never leaving the other far behind, they were content with the silence between them. As they hiked in their quiet reverie, they heard laughter and conversation just up ahead. They happened upon another couple: she was tall and blonde and he was dark-haired with striking blue eyes and a camera slung over his shoulder. The girl looked to be a bit drunk and the guy seemed embarrassed by it. They were just ahead of Gregg and April but moving at a considerably slower pace. As they approached the couple, April and Gregg both said hello and were about to pass.
The guy said, "Hi, sorry to bother you but we were wondering if you could help us out for just a minute. We aren't really familiar with this area. Could you tell us if we are on the right track to the biggest waterfall? I see you at least have a map. Unfortunately, we don't and are a bit lost."
Gregg glanced at his map and pointed to Climbing Ladder Falls. Luke looked a bit puzzled so Gregg pointed in the direction they should head toward. With a quick grin and a nod, Luke and Emma set off in search of the fall. April slapped Gregg's ass and said, "See, I'm not the ONLY one who can't read a map!" Personally, Gregg was glad the other couple was headed in the opposite direction. It's great to meet people but he was in the mood to be alone with April. April, on the other hand, looked at Gregg and said; "Maybe we could get HIM to take pictures of us in the nude." Gregg chuckled. She was always looking for opportunities and if she couldn't find them, she made them! It was one of the many things that appealed to him about her sexuality.
