We heard a couple of fishermen approaching<br />

from down stream. We were in no condition to deal<br />

with them. We grabbed our clothes and ran up the hill<br />

into the woods. After the fishermen passed, we made<br />

love. We felt primitive and talked of going over the<br />

hill, never returning to civilization again. However,<br />

we thought we might be hunted like animals, and as<br />

darkness set in about us, we made our way to the<br />

lodge.<br />

The next day, we headed back to San Francisco.<br />

Richard’s bike broke down half way. Carolyn and I<br />

continued home. We couldn’t live with Richard any<br />

longer and decided to get our own apartment while<br />

he waited <strong>for</strong> his bike to be fixed.<br />

The first day we looked <strong>for</strong> a place, we were hit<br />

from the side by a drunk driver as we went through<br />

an intersection. Fortunately, no one was going too<br />

fast. The bike still ran, and we were scraped and<br />

bruised.<br />

The next day, we stopped at a light at Market<br />

and VanNess, one of the busiest downtown intersections.<br />

The light turned green, and I took off. A second<br />

later, I was flying through the air. My hands broke the<br />

fall. Then the bike landed across my legs. I lay in the<br />

middle of the intersection with my broken left wrist<br />

flapping. A red sports car went through a red light,<br />

and I smashed into the side of it. Fortunately, a motorcycle<br />

cop, right behind him, called an ambulance<br />

and tow truck. The bike was totaled. Carolyn bounced<br />

off the back, landed on her ass and only suffered<br />

bruises.<br />
