When we arrived at the entrance to the parking area, we noticed other hikers were already there so we parked as far from them as possible. Grabbing our gear we headed off toward the blind mans bluff.
It was rough trailing for two young ladies, yet Dave managed to help us whenever we needed it and we soon were deep into the woods. We came up on a wide area overlooking the river that fed into the lake below. Hearing shouts and taunts, we went farther around the bend and could see the entire river basin from there.
Looking down, Stacey and I were both surprised to see four guys about our own age skinny dipping in the river.
They were racing to the edge, jumping out and then diving back in. I could see their small claims to manhood bouncing up and down as they ran to and fro. Stacey just stared open mouthed. I looked over at her and replied, "Hey you better close that mouth or one of them boys might find something to fill it with."
Stacey just continued to stare for a few moments, and than turned to me and said" Ha! It'd take all four of them to even satisfy me, let alone you!" It was then Stacey remembered her father was standing behind them. She corrected herself and said, " I mean… like when I'm older…" Dave just chuckled and said, "ain't if wonderful to be young. I'm going to go on a little farther, you two can catch up in a second."
We continued to watch the boys splash around for a few minutes and joked at each other about which one of the boys would grow up and satisfy us the most. The boys must have been from a nearby town, as neither of us knew any of them, yet one boy stood out in the crowd. He looked to be about thirteen or fourteen, and had definitely reached puberty. His masculinity was obvious, even from the distance that we watched. After about five minutes of casual comments on the boys we then went on down the trail and caught up with Stacey's father.
