The quartet reached the opening, and it was quite a lovely place. There was a large boulder setting up along the hill, and Adam promptly bolted up to claim it as his own and check out the view. Blake proceeded to build a fire, Caitlin made sure that the boat and the supplies were all secured, and Erin pulled out a skillet to make dinner. They would have some of the fish they had caught earlier as well as a few provisions they brought from home. As they ate, they talked about the adventure the day had offered, how things were going in their lives, and made up crazy stories that made them laugh until their sides heart. All the while they could hear the wildlife hooting, stomping, climbing, scratching, sniffing, singing and calling all around them. It was peaceful, loud, calm, and exciting all at once; they just hoped that a bear wouldn't stumble upon them in the middle of the night. After a couple of hours at camp, the stars overhead captured Erin's attention. Blake caught her gaze and looked up as well. "Whoa," Blake uttered softly. Adam and Caitlin then looked up, and the same soft expressions of wonder fell from their lips. "We need to go up to that boulder I claimed earlier, the trees open up around it, and I think the view there will be absolutely brilliant." So, the four of them let the campfire burn down to embers so that they could keep an eye on it and it wouldn't burn completely out, grabbed a flashlight, and started for the boulder.
