The vacation was all planned weeks ago but my boyfriend had to spoil it all by bailing on me two days before we were to leave. I had already purchased the nonrefundable tickets and was ready to really get away from it all. Two weeks at a very remote campground totally surrounded by Colorado wilderness. City life had been taking its toll on both of us and since I raised such a fuss about it…he is now my ex-boyfriend. I called everyone I could think of looking for someone to vacation with. The only friend I could find was Jenny who could only take the first five days off. But she agreed to come anyway and we rented separate vehicles so that she could get back to the airport to fly out after the first week. I was really glad to have her there even if it was just for a week.
The camp had about a dozen cabins and there was only one other woman there besides us. Most of the clients were men looking for some backcountry fishing. And the fishing was great. The facilities were primitive but the chef cooked our fish to order and did an excellent job of it. The cabins had no running water and the electricity only came on for a couple of hours each night around dusk. The toilets and showers were in a separate building that had hot water and flush toilets. The water was hot if you showered early but if you waited too long, your water could be cold and the lights just might go out on you. Jenny and I made sure to get in early even though the fish tempted us to stay out later and later every night.
The other campers were very nice and after the first few nights we all felt like family. On the far side of the camp, as luck would have it, were three very cute athletic looking young men. They were always very polite but I constantly felt their eyes on my ass or chest. If they hadn’t been so young, I may have jumped any of the three. But they seemed so immature and as I am nearing thirty, I just couldn’t deal with a guy who is barely out of high school. Jenny agreed so we both avoided any behavior that looked like flirting. But I couldn’t help catching glimpses of those young hard bodies.
As the time neared when Jenny had to go back to civilization, we found ourselves staying out later and later to get in on the best fishing. On her last night we got caught in the showers when the lights went out. Luckily the moon was nearing full and after our eyes adjusted, we found our clothes and made our way back to our cabin. It was really no hassle and I decided that it was worth the inconvenience in order to avoid the other campers and also stay out as late as I pleased.
The first night on my own, I stayed out until eleven and found the camp completely silent on my return. The power was already out as I grabbed a change of clothes and headed for the showers. The women’s side of the showers had one big shower with two heads on it and wooden slats for a floor so that the water just ran off onto the ground after it came off of your body. The only light coming into the shower was the moonlight that shown through the two feet of screened area of the wall near the ceiling. The water was still a little warm but cooler than I would use at home. As I showered I became very aware of my body in the moonlight. My nipples were hard and my mind was very alert. My eyes had adjusted so well that I could see everything in the shower and even the trees outside through the screens.
