BACK TO THE RIVER

I don't know how long it's been since I've been to the river, but it seems like a long time. I got to kimi's at 6am which is the time I was supposed to get there. It was he'll since I didnt have a lot of sleep. My strategy was to sleep on the way there. It was tough going at first, but I put some blinders on and actually got a good nap. Before I knew it, we were there.

The river was high and the current was strong. After a little sunbathing, I went back in because it was really hot outside. I took a long nap to catch up on my sleep and felt well rested. Jared needed some shorts so we went to Aha quin where a general store and bar is located.

For dinner, Sean and Heather threw a fish fry. They had mostly herring but they also had some salmon that they battered and threw into a professional fryer. They also made some fries, but they needed to fry them a second time to achieve the crispiness that is most desired. Since they were cooking, I didn't really want to say anything. There was an amazing salad and I just wanted to keep eating, but I really had to try very hard not to gorge.

Soon, it was evening and Jared and Austin wanted to do something. We headed out back to aha quin to see if there was anything going on. But there wasn't, it was deader than a door nail. So we decided to head out north to waterwheel where we saw some lights in the darkness. We parked the van where the office was, and headed our on foot. Everyone else was driving around in their golf carts so I started to stress since I began thinking people would know we weren't really from around there.

But this is the river and things move very differently around here. Besides, not everyone knows everyone so no one really had any idea we were from down river. We saw some girls playing beer pong when we first scoped the place out, but we couldn't figure out how old they were.

While walking and exploring for a piece, we saw some dude with a super led flashlight. So I asked him and he said he was going to ask us the same thing. Luckily, his moms had some paper and we were able to make a little salad. He took us on his golf cart to the beach where there were people just kicking back. Apparently, this was the spot that people went to chill. After blowing some trees, we called it a night since it was getting pretty late. We told our new friend Eddie that we'd look for him tomorrow.
