After a while we would arrive at the fishing hole. I don't know if I ever caught anything but it was so much fun to go there by the river and just hang out, cross the river on the two cable traverse and enjoy life for a little bit. And it was his three-speed bikes that got us there and back with their distinctive tic-tic-tic-tic.
