Following Callie's example, Judith begrudgingly began to roll the legs of her ill-fitting jeans. She had hoped that since they were baggy she would be able to roll them higher, possibly high enough to evade the water altogether. But with each roll the ring of denim grew tighter around her leg until they were eventually stiff and nearly tourniquet-tight just above her knees. Judith didn't reserve any hope that they'd remain above water, she was well aware of her vertical dearth.
With a vexed sigh, Judith handed a bag over to Callie. She stuffed her shoes into the one she carried and tied the handles. "No point puttin' it off." with a derogatory farewell to Trevor, Judith stepped ungainly off the side of the boat, sinking into the soft silt and sediment of the creek. The water rose over the rolled denim of her jeans. She supposed it was Murphy's law. "Let's get moving Huckleberry Finn." Judith called over her shoulder to Callie. "I just had about all the nature I can stand squelch between my toes. I'm overdue for some creature comforts."
The looming trees, choked with thick vegetation and gathering nocturnal insects still lay ahead. Judith didn't want to think what viviparous quadrupeds they might disturb in the brush. She didn't want to think of the possible snakes wending through the shallows either. She just wanted a bed. Judith was ready for sleep. She'd had enough excitement.
