Prelude
Jason Aldeen's Dirt Road Anthem was playin on the speakers.
She came to this place many times growing up to find some peace and solitude, but now she finally had someone to share it with.
Suddenly she snapped out of it as he asked pulling in, "Is this it?" ... "Yup!!" She exclaimed with excitement.
"Why don't you grab the packs? I gotta put on my boots."
"Alright mama, you da boss" he said with a big excited kiss.
She pulled over to the cut off and turned off the truck. He hopped to the back and lifted the stuff out with his strong arms.
Looking in the rearview mirror, she thought to herself
"Mmm good thing I can get these cloths as dirty as I want today!! Usually he likes everything all prissy. Now's my chance to show him just how much I prefer to get messy. So much easier." She chuckled to herself.
She reached back to get her shoes and started to put them on. Walkin back to front cab he saw her bending over, tying up her boot laces and noticed a bit of her plumy butt was showing. He bent over to tickle her a bit and straighten her out like a lady.
She immediately shot up and hit him on the shoulder laughing "You mutt! Go fetch a stick!"
He laughed at the big grin on her face. She still liked it when he did that. She didn't realize how much he missed being around to take advantage.
She grabbed her stuff and came around the side of the truck and laid it by the big boulder with the other gear.
"Alright, we're all suited up," she said "Let's have a smoke before"
He replied "That sounds like a fine idea, pretty lady"
She had stopped smoking, but he was still in between. It was alright though because she enjoyed the sweetness of the Clove vape, and secretly she still enjoyed the feeling of the big, slick, hard glass of her weed pipe all up in her lips.
He grinned at her again, knowing what was going to make her randy for the next few hours.
"So where's this fishin spot?" He asked.
"Its down by the river. We have to go off trail and hike to it. Ready honey?"
She gently bent in to kiss him through his wholly beard, tasting of cloves. He licked his lips and bent in for a deeper kiss, pulling her closer. She teased him a bit and sucked his lips "You'll just have to wait for more," winking "Let's go!"

Chapter 1
It was a cool morning with breaks in the clouds for sunshine. Not bad for an early fall. The coldness of the air bit at her lips and egged her to keep on going. They had just started.
Ava heard the crashing of the river in the distance, Humming quietly, but always moving. Soothing
Sean was right behind her. She knew he was checking out her cute butt in those tight yoga pants as usual, but she was too distracted by her thoughts of setting up camp. She hesitated for a moment, trying to remember if they brought the two rifles.
She turned her dirty blonde head back to see Sean had his for smaller, more experienced game. A Ruger 10-22 classic fixed stock rifle. It's reliability and accuracy are legendary, and there are more accessories for the rifle.
She reached back to feel down the side of her pack for hers. It was for bigger medium game. A Marlin 30-30. Its slow to load, its slow to reload, but the 30-30 is compact, its easy for just about anyone in the family to shoot, its pretty accurate out to 100 - 150 yards and it has plenty of penetration power. One aspect that is often overlooked, the 30-30 shoots a 30 caliber bullet. Something to keep in handy for bigger critters and bein a little lady. She laughed at herself a bit.
Sean asked her "What ya thinkin mama?"
"Remember the first time I tried to hold a shotgun? It was too big for me and I couldn't clear corners in the house. What good is it if I can't even aim for a horse with a shot gun?"
They both chuckled a hearty laugh.
He said "Good thing you got that hunters safety and pulled tags. Now maybe we can start practice and eat new grub!?"
She nodded agreeing. "I got some new ideas reading up on some big game we're aiming for. We'd have to bring the ATV's. I read White River is a great place to test hunting skills. If you're looking for Colorado elk, that would be the place you finally manage to find and harvest a bull. White River is a beautiful mix of wildflower meadows and rugged mountain cliffs."
"Wow" he said "I'm game! Are you sure you really want to do this? I mean, do something so big for your first trip?"
"Of Course! The smaller game seems to be harder, and that's what we're practicing this trip, includin fishin. I think it would be a honor to hunt big game my first time with you and learn about how to prep the meat and skin. And no, I won't cry." Ava said rolling her eyes.
"The only time I do that is when the world is being stupid with each other. A man's still gotta eat."
Ava could understand why he was asking though. She was always a sensitive person. The down side and up side we're one in the same. Being sensitive, you pick up on everything, But It's easy to get overwhelmed.
She felt the same way about sex. There never was an off button for that either, she laughed. She was always in heat, but it taught her who people really were. Shaun respected her body regardless, knowing he hit the jackpot with her. Love would take it's own time.
And they both had time. Lord, did they take their time.
What she needed was an emotionally mature man who could respect what she had to do for herself. She had her refurbishment business in progress, developing her writing, and hemp farming in the works. She was getting into shape the past year and fulfilling all her fantasy explorations. She was a bit more on the wild side and Sean was so good for her, being stable and consistent.
Sean was a self made man with the same interests, owning his own wood shop and garden center. He made a wonderful companion for some extreme sporting when he wasn't immersed in work. He also got the big snip earlier that year, a necessary to keep up with both their sex drives. He was a bit more set in his ways and she kept him on his toes with a desire for new knowledge and experiences.
"Yeah, I got the gun," he said, reading her actions.
She replied "I was about to say, I'm not coming on this trip about to do nothing!!" She laughed.
"Yeah, with any luck I'll be the one getting my hands dirty" he smirked.
"Fat chance!!" She said shaking her butt at him.
