Kimberly slowed the boat down as the sun was completely down the west horizon. The desert on the left had dissapated, and were now filled with trees and shrubs that came down the mountains ahead.
Kimberly had a bit of trouble getting the boat to stop along the strong, opposing current. The shore of the river was shallow and flat, allowing the three to easily drag the boat onto shore, into the tall grass that dominated the south side of the river.
Thenearest mountain to the east was about half a mile away, and was one of the shorter ones. Kimberly had said that was Qasd Mountain. Behind that, was Roverone Mountain, which the river was named after.
The tallest mountain in sight, beside the Roverone, was Clishay Mountain, which, unlike the other moutains, was dominated by ice and snow, not plants. The two mountains, acording to Kimberly, where the safest way into the heart of the Gorge Mountain Range. It seemed easy enough.
"Just leave the boat here," Kimberly said. "I always do. The engine is rigged to not start if someone tries to get it. And nobody would want to drift on it, or hike with it."
"Good point," Gers said.
"Come One," Kimberly said. The creature leaped onto Kimberly's head, and nessled itself in her hair. Bobbles walked along side.
Jasmine and Gers kept shrugged, then kept walking.
"You see that taller mountain to the right of Roverone?" Kimberly pointed.
"Yeah," Gers nodded.
"That's Portel Mountain. It has a perfect hiking trail if it's a slippery day."
"Is Leona on a mountain?" Jasmine asked.
"No, it's in a canyon between about twelve mountains," Kimberly answered. "Let's see... Trent Mountain, Kiln Mountain, Cartur Mountain, Wedinn Mountain, Atlantic Mountain, Vint Mountain, Hoover Mountain, Gentriola Mountain, Biss Mountain, Half Mountain, Sand Mountain, and Superior Mountain. My mantion is on Gentriola."
"Is it a nice city?" Gers asked.
"I think it's very lovely," Kimberly said. "Great childhood I had there. Plus there's a big river that goes through Leona. You can boat down it sometimes. It depends on the weather.
"It's just like any other city, 'cept it has the coolest views of every mountain 24/7!The wildlife in the parks aren't bad either. It has no real skyscrapers, but it has great attractions like parks, museums and mining areas. Leona's a very wealthy city, because of it's oil, coal, and other minerals. Things aren't cheap there."
"Do you go back to Leona often?" Gers asked.
"Of course!" Kimberly exclaimed. "I have a mantion there! I need to see my family and friends now and then, right? I mean... I do so much traveling. Plus, going to Leona is a great way to stock up on things before I go traveling again."
Justin and Gers nodded... it made sense.
