What I Did Over My Summer Vacation
Backpacking alone into the wilderness, I braved the rugged terrain and blistering heat for hours before reaching a small, secluded lake with crystal clear waters that lay hushed, reflecting a curtain of towering pine trees, jagged granite cliffs and deep azure sky in its glassy surface.
I swam disrobed in the cool, soothing water, feeling at once primal and overwhelmingly in tune with nature.
At night the sky was ablaze with a view of the cosmos like none I had ever seen.
Though enveloped in its serene majesty, the forest yet denied me my quarry.
Where were you hiding, Bigfoot?
