After much begging the kid gets the keys to his dad's truck and drives to the fly shop in town. There he is talked into more flies than he wants, and a new powder flotant-highly recom-mended-and a spool of 5X. He spends all his money. Then he leaves.
He drives the father's truck back to their campsite and the father is asleep in the tent and the mother is off on a run and that is how they'll stay for as long as his mother can run.
She will run fearfully through the unknown roads with a water bottle in her right hand and a can of mace in her left. When she returns she will leave again to the shower and after that she will leave again, into a book and lie there reading and batting at mosquitoes and the father will drink beer and the kid will trundle his overweight self to the river and disappear into that. The next day they will leave for another campsite and this will be repeated, in more or less the same fashion, until the vacation is over and they return to their home and school begins again.
