Richard inhaled deeply. The fresh mountain air smelled wonderful. He was glad the group had accepted his proposal - to go camping - as he loved getting outside, away from the busy city life and the stresses that came with it. He just never had the opportunity these days to do so, and he wasn't even sure his daughter would even enjoy going on such a trip. But things had worked out so far and he had kept busy, taking on the leadership role of the group, getting the campsite set up, marking off an area in a clump of nearby trees where they'd go to use the toilet (tread carefully!) while also securing their good supplies high in a tree so no bears or critters could get to it.<br/>
<br/>
He had used an old technique for the potatoes, cooking them before hand, burying them in the coals while wrapped in tinfoil as he cooked several steaks on a rack he setup over the fire. The food was piping hot and full of nutrients once he added cheese, scallops, and flavoring to the steaks. It was a good meal and he finished off another cold beer. But the hike had been long and for some one used to sitting at a desk all day, it was more tiring than it should have been.<br/>
<br/>
He walked down to the waters edge and took off his shirt, using handfuls of water to cool and wash his body and face without getting too wet. He let himself air dry in the cold, night air as he returned to the fire, stoking it a little to make sure it wouldn't spill out of the firepit he had built for it while he let it burn out overnight. After a long while, he headed into the tent he'd be sharing - he wasn't sure with whom but didn't mind at all. With the way the girls had been secreting away leading up to the trip, and the way they had acted recently, Richard was pretty sure the sleeping arrangements were going to be quite...interesting.<br/>
<br/>
He pulled his hiking boots off, leaving them outside on the grass inside the flap of the tent, before he stripped down to his boxers. He laid on top of his sleeping bag, waiting to see which girl would join him.</span>
