CHAPTER 6 TIRED DRIVERS-LOUD MUSIC
The next morning the team headed out early. They wanted to get to the campgrounds early enough so that they could set up camp, before hitting the river. Charlie started out driving but was quickly replaced by Julie, who could stay awake at the wheel. For the trip the team had rented a very large van, so they could drive themselves to the Manistee National Forest campground. Unfortunately, the whole team couldn't make the trip. Luis and Ken were due to start work that week, and the rest of the team was coming.
It was a two hour drive from campus to the campground, but due to having to stop and change drivers, it took them about three hours. By the time they reached the campground all of the guys were asleep and Julie and Connie were the only awake ones. Julie was still driving, as they pulled into the drive. Adam had joined her in the front seat and was now fast asleep, with the seat put all the way back. Connie was sitting in the middle seat, next to the window. Guy, who was fast asleep, had his head resting on her shoulder. Charlie sat next to him, and had his feet propped up on the back of Adam's seat. In the next seat back, Goldberg sat, with his head smushed against the window and Portman and Fulton leaning on him, both asleep with headphones blaring. Dwayne and Russ sat in the very back. Dwayne had his cowboy hat tipped over his eyes, and Russ was drooling.
As Julie pulled into the lot were they would be saying, she looked over at Adam.
'Gee, is he cute,' she thought.
"I heard that," said Connie, "don't worry, I haven't told and I wont. You think we should wake them up?"
"Well, seeing how we can't unload everything on our own, I think we should," Julie said, " I'll turn on the radio!" Julie turned the radio on, full blast, just as Connie leaned over to wake Guy up. As soon as the power was on, the guys were up and Connie was rubbing her sore head. Guy had smacked his head onto hers, from the shock of the loud music.
"Ouch, you knuckle head, that hurt," she yelled at Guy, who was still wide-awake.
"What'd ya say mom," he asked sleepily. He was soon wide-awake. Connie, who couldn't resist his half asleep cuteness, had given him a big kiss on the mouth.
"I said…that hurt you big knuckle head," she replied.
"Do you want me to kiss it and make it feel better," Guy asked as he planted a kiss on her head.
"Boy, this is going to be a long week," Charlie muttered.
