"Here we are!" Dad called out happily as we emerged from the narrow rock opening. He was ahead of me by a few feet and had stopped there, putting his hands on his hips and breathing deeply. Sweat dripped from his face and it had accumulated on his shirt beneath the backpack he wore. I must have been equality sweaty, I knew.
"Great," I replied, coming to his side. "This is the spot, eh?" I took a look at the scene before me: a quiet, rock encircled area, kind of like a roofless cave and just big enough for a small campsite. Towards one side was a clear pool filling up with water from somewhere further up into the rocks on the opposite side of us. Below this clear pool there was a little miniature waterfall which led into another smaller pool and then into a small stream where it faded into the brush against a rock surface. This was Dad's favorite spot to camp, he had told me earlier. Hidden away from other hikers and campers, quiet, peacefulâit was ideal for a father-son outing.
"Yup, here we are," he said. "The pool looks so inviting, doesn't it, son?"
"Sure does," I said. It was so hot and we had hiked so far. All of my muscles were aching and I longed to finally be able to sit down and take a drink of water. "So you can drink this water?" I asked.
"Yeah," he said, and then pointed towards the spot where the water trickled from the rocks just above the pool. "Spring water. Clear and smooth. We can drink it from there."
"Sweet. Well, I'm ready to relax, Dad." I took my pack off and dropped it onto the ground.
"First we have to set up camp, and then we'll relax." Dad smiled at me and wiped sweat onto his sleeve. "Let's set up a fire using the wood we collected on the way and we can get some dinner while we are at it. While it's cooking we can set up the tent. What do you say?"
I smiled at him. "Okay, Dad." With a groanâbut a happy groanâI got up and helped him set up camp. It only took us a few minutes because we knew what we were doing. We were both experienced outdoorsmen and had been doing father-son campouts for years now. I knew that this might be my last one since I had just barely turned 18âa few weeks agoâand would soon be moving away from home to go to college. This was going to be my last summer at home with my parents and my little sister.
Dinner was good. We had brought plenty of good food and we enjoyed every morsel of the fire-cooked meal. Just like the old times, I reflected as we sat around the fire. I knew that I would definitely miss these little outings with Dad. We had grown really close over the last few years because of it.
"So Aaron, what are you thinking about?" Dad asked, wiping his hands onto his jeansâhaving just finished the last of his food. He sat back and looked at me.
"I'm thinking . . . that it's going to be really hard leaving you guys," I said. Saying it outloud hurt me more than simply thinking it in my heart. "I will miss you, Dad. I really will." I looked up at him and took a deep breath. "We've become so close during these trips of ours. I appreciate it."
"We can still do trips later on," Dad saidâbut smiled sadly. "You won't be that faraway. And of course we can always talk on the phone."
"True," I said. "Very true."
We sat there in silence for a moment before Dad spoke again: "Wanna take a dip in the pool?"
"Um, sure," I said. Honestly, I was very tired and felt more like taking a nap. But it was about mid-afternoon now and still hot, so a cool down would do me good. "Yeah, let's go."
"Okay," Dad said. With that he led me across the site and towards the pool there. We stood in front of it watching the water trickle in. "Don't worry, it's not that cold," Dad said. "Let's get undressed and hop in."
I nodded and, slightly turning away from him, I began to take off my sweaty clothes. I first took off my shirt and shivered a bit when I felt the air against the wet skin of my bare chest. I turned towards him for a quick glance and found him just standing there looking at me. He had apparently not started to undress himself yet. I swallowed. I had already removed my socks and shoes back near the fire, so now all I had to do to finish undressing myself was remove my shorts and boxersâwhich I now did with one easy motion. I bent over to remove the sticky shorts and boxers and then flung them over to the spot I had just thrown my shirt. I wrapped my arms around my stomach and, my breath hard, turned slightly around to look at Dad. He was still standing there, dressed, looking at my naked body. What was up with him? I wondered.
"Oh, don't be shy," he said, smiling. "We're both guys, aren't we?"
"Yeah," I said, nodding. I turned around to face him full on, my penis dangling obnoxiously between my thighs. Smiling, I slowly let down my arms and put them on my hips. "Well, I am undressed now."
"Awesome," Dad said. "My turn!" With this he began unbuttoning his sweat-drenched shirt. I turned away as soon as I saw his bare chest.
"Hey," Dad said, his hand on my bare shoulder. "Don't worry. It's okay if you see me naked."
I turned to look at him and found him there completely nude, his long, flaccid penis only a foot from me. The look I got at it was only a glance, and then I turned away again. "Sure," I said. "Now let's get in."
With that I stepped into the cool water. It was such a shock that I pulled my foot back out almost immediately. I looked at Dad who watched me strangely. "What?" I asked, smiling. "What are you looking at with that strange . . . smile?"
"Oh, it's just that you are cute," he said now. "Go ahead, don't mind me."
He was being so weird. What did that mean? I am cute? I shook away these questions and put my whole leg up to my knee into the water. I shivered but instead of pulling it out again as I had done before, I put my other leg into the water.
"Okay, Dad, I'm going in," I said. With one last movement I bent over so that my whole body up to my chest was now in the waterâin the middle of the pool. Another moment later and I was dunking my head in it. "Whew! Dad, that feels good!" I yelled out, shivering again.
"I knew it would," Dad said. I looked up again at him and again at that long penis was his. It was so long . . . Dad smiled brightly and then, in one motion, plunged into the pool with a tiny splash. He too dunked his head. "Nice huh?" he asked, chuckling. "Perfect thing for an after-hike cool down!"
"Yeah, that's for sure."
"Hey, over here there is a little ledge where we can sit down under the water," Dad said, indicating a spot against the rock wall next to the spot where the water trickled down. He sat there and watched as I stepped towards him. I sat down onto the ledge a few inches away from him. There, he smiled and watched me. I had never seen him like this before.
"Yeah this is nice," I said.
