It wasn't a typical Friday, nor a typical day. I woke to the sounds of birds singing & big rushing water. Camp kitchen was set & I ate cereal instead of cooking. My bikini was on by 10am & I located the perfect tanning spot: a huge boulder on a sandy river beach, next to the Kern River. I met the neighbors, a kayaking couple from San Diego, moving north to Oregon. Chris showed up around noon, to erect his new mansion tent facing the river. Andrew showed about 4pm & we explored the canyon on foot. Dinner & campfire started early, well before sundown & we enjoyed the night skies together.
