Hiking into unknown territory

Marco had hiked these woods for years and was a professional hiker for at least this trail. He was getting bored of walking the same trails every day and had started to do wilderness hikes with astounding rewards. One trip he found a secluded cave that he dared not to venture in. On another trip he found a secluded waterfall that he found perfectly refreshing on that hot summer day. Today, he was gonna go a new direction in hopes of finding a river that was charted on the map but was not didn’t touch the hiking trail at any point. Marco had his hiking gear as well as a backpack with enough goods to sustain him should he get lost for a couple of days. He got his directionally positioned where he should hit the river in a few hours as long as he maintained that direction and set off into the wooded wilderness.

One hour had passed when Marco had found himself sweating quite a bit due to the higher humidity of the day and the canopy of the woods trapping it on the ground. He took a swig of some water as he made sure he was always facing the direction he was supposed to go since it was easy to get turned around with all the trees looking the same. He was roughly mapping where his spot was and was impressed with his pace and determined another hour should have him hitting the river and plunging himself into the cool waters. With his water capped and back in his back, he continued his trek through the woods.

It had taken about two additional hours due to having to go around an impassable cliff face, but he was finally hearing the sound of a river even if he couldn’t see it. A few minutes later he could finally see the blue waters of the river as he dropped his backpack and proceeded to take off his shoes and socks. He had stripped off his shirt as he dropped it on his backpack. Marco looked around a bit before pulling down his pants and boxers in one movement. Marco never brought a swimsuit since it was inconvenient to change when he could just go skinny dipping. No one was ever around and honestly it felt amazing to be doing it without the constriction of clothes. Marco made his way into the water and felt the coolness instantly work its magic on his hot, sweaty skin. He dove into the water as the initial shock of the cold water was quickly changed into a refreshing coolness. He hoped out of the water and laid on his back relaxing in the calm river. The sound of rustling made Marco jump and he got himself low in the water to hide himself as best as he could.
