Graves goes hunting in a nearby forest and stumbles upon a kindly farmer, McKee, and uses their campground for the night. Graves lounges around the next morning just talking then eats lunch with McKee's family and leaves for the river. He catches a few bass over the faint sounds of deer rifle and admires nature some more. Then its ruined by two chicks in a pickup truck that get out on the other side of the river and start fishing. Graves remembers a similar situation with Hale years ago that ends in embarrassment. He continues up river with more Indian history and details their downfall (I.E. smallpox and machine guns) The chapter concludes with a high brow internal conversation about mans relationship with storms quoting a little Shelley of course. |
