Throwing the knife back into the bag, I walked in between her hanging legs and settled into prime position. XXX Once I had my rope mostly set up, I pulled back on the open line in one big tug. It would not have surprised me in the least if the only two people who even knew of this path were us. The nylon rope was pulled out of the backpack and opened very quickly. I asked her if she was enjoying this, and her head gave a quick nod of approval. Looping the rope loosely over a branch on the one tree to her left, I led the rope over another branch on the tree to her right. Finally, as her shorts were merely patches of bright orange cloth strewn about haphazardly, I grinned a very pleased smile of satisfaction.
