00:14:15Come back to your spot yet, I'm a place abandoned. I've been down in three years since my mom got locked up
00:14:25Or to go back down it over and find some things I left behind, but I like it here living off the grid
00:14:39Oh
00:14:57Man can you believe it 18 or so it doesn't yet if you start looking for babies in the woods, maybe you find one
00:15:09We found that's had a big impact. We've also had human hunting pressure on elk that migrate outside the park.
00:15:16So we also have one of the largest speeds of car wars in any place in North America.
00:15:22The grizzly bears, black bears, and coyotes...
00:15:25Well, I gotta get going to Graham's. He's waiting.

00:15:56Call him a river rat.
00:16:00Living that way
00:16:03Ain't so bad. Probably better than some old trailer park full of bad memories.
00:16:13River in, river out.
00:17:02I
00:17:16Bought some fish for that fire
00:17:20Hi

00:17:40May I? You sure? I don't mind doing the gutting. Yeah
00:17:45You got skills. Can you hear me that stick over there? Yes, ma'am.
00:17:51Don't call me ma'am. Makes me feel like an old lady. Oh, please. You ain't old by no means.
00:17:57Yeah, I'm older than you. Not much.
00:18:01I just turned 30.
00:18:04I'm not old.
00:18:07I'm not old.
00:18:10I'm not old.
00:18:13I just turned 30.
00:18:15How old are you?
00:18:1718 today.
00:18:19Really?
00:18:21Happy birthday.
00:18:23Finally ain't a kid no more.
00:18:25Once a kid, always a kid.
00:18:27Nobody ever really grows up.
00:18:30How long are y'all here for?
00:18:33Oh, it's just me. I keep it too tense because it's a little less vulnerable looking.
00:18:39Smart.
00:18:41Good try.
00:18:46Where you headed?
00:18:48Hiking up the east coast to New York. Got a brother there.
00:18:51New York?
00:18:54You got a long ways ahead of you.
00:18:57Yeah, but I'm taking my time.
00:19:00I don't know. This year I decided this is my year to take off from regular life.
00:19:07Regular life?
00:19:09Yeah, this is about as regular as it gets for me.
00:19:12Really? You're from around here?
00:19:14Yeah, just back through those woods.
00:19:17Been here my whole life. I was born on the island.
00:19:20Really?
00:19:23Well, it's really beautiful here.
00:19:27What brings you down river?
00:19:30One of my gramps.
00:19:33Taking her these pills.
00:19:35She's just around the bend.
00:19:38My pa damn near raised me, so I never really had a mom.
00:19:45Oh. Do you mind if I ask why not?
00:19:51Sure. She died having me.
00:19:57Oh. I'm sorry.
00:20:01My pa raised me.
00:20:06He tried to protect me, you know, from the pain and all, but you can't really make up the difference for a missing mom.
00:20:19So he died? He never remarried?
00:20:24Nope. Says there's only one woman for him.
00:20:28Spend all his time held up in a shack just making all sorts of shit from driftwood.
00:20:34That's pretty cool.
00:20:44Ever married?
00:20:47Once. But it was short-lived.
00:20:54He had an affair.
00:20:57What?
00:21:03If I was ever married to you, I'd treat you like a queen.
00:21:08Thanks.
00:21:12I mean it.
00:21:21Hey, you smoke?
00:21:23Yeah. What else is there to do in these woods?
00:21:27No, but you know what? I got an apple. I'll make us an apple bond.
00:21:33Apple bond? I ain't never heard of such a thing.
00:21:35Really? I'll show you. Come on.
00:21:57I'm sorry.
00:21:59I'm sorry.
00:22:01I'm sorry.
00:22:03I'm sorry.
00:22:05I'm sorry.
00:22:07I'm sorry.
00:22:09I'm sorry.
00:22:11I'm sorry.
00:22:13I'm sorry.
00:22:15I'm sorry.
00:22:17I'm sorry.
00:22:19I'm sorry.
00:22:21I'm sorry.
00:22:23I'm sorry.
00:22:25I'm sorry.
00:22:31You sure are a good-looking man.
00:22:34Yeah?
00:22:36I ain't done much good so far.
00:22:39Come on. You don't have a girlfriend?
00:22:42Ooh.
00:22:46Nah, I never really tried.
00:22:56That's super fresh.
00:22:59My man Blaze grows it and sells it down by the river in the summer.
00:23:04Oh, that is a friend to keep.
00:23:15He lives on a raft.
00:23:18He's off the grid, you could say.
00:23:21That sounds like my hero.
00:23:23Yeah, there's a lot of that around here.
00:23:25Like my grandma, she ain't never had a bank account.
00:23:28She keeps all her money in a paint can back by the shed.
00:23:32Don't have anything good to say about the system.
00:23:36Wanna go for a swing?
00:23:39Swing?
00:23:41Yeah, it's just up there.
00:23:44Wow.
00:23:47It's gorgeous up here.
00:23:50I've been coming here since I was a tot.
00:23:53My pop put this swing here.
00:23:55No way.
00:23:57Geez, I haven't been on one of these.
00:24:00You know what?
00:24:02I think I'm gonna go for a swim.
00:24:04I'm gonna go for a swim.
00:24:06I'm gonna go for a swim.
00:24:08I'm gonna go for a swim.
00:24:10Geez, I haven't been on one of these.

00:24:48All right, then.
00:24:55Yeah?
00:24:57You think it'll still hold me?
00:24:59We'll see.
00:25:10Ride a cowboy.
00:25:17Hey, you ever done shrooms before?
00:25:20Nope.
00:25:21Really?
00:25:22There's a lot of things I haven't done yet.
00:25:24Well, it was the first time for everything.
00:25:27Wanna try them with me?
00:25:29What happened?
00:25:31I don't know, it's a bit different every time,
00:25:33but the first time I did it,
00:25:35all these walls inside of me just evaporated.
00:25:43Pretty therapeutic.
00:25:46How long does it last?
00:25:48You start now, be done by sundown.
00:25:51Believe me, you don't think about time on these things.
00:25:59Happy birthday.

00:32:15I can see it now.
00:32:19It's inside me.
00:32:23I'm buried.
00:32:34And she's pulling it out.
00:32:38Pulling it out, like a wishbone.
00:32:42And she's got one side and I got the other.
00:32:53And we could be so good together.
00:33:12And we could be so good together.
00:33:30It's my dad. He can't see me like this.
00:33:35What's he doing?
00:33:37He's gathering wood for his art.
00:33:43That's cool.
00:33:51I shouldn't have said that to him.
00:33:54That's all he's got.
00:33:57There's art now.
00:34:00That's all he's got.
00:34:03There's art in me.
00:34:06All these years piling up wood between us and the past.
00:34:12That's what he's been doing.
00:34:15Making something out of it.
00:34:22Hey.
00:34:26You guys have a bond that can never be broken.
00:34:38You say the best things.
00:34:43Yeah.
00:34:46I try to tell the truth sometimes.
00:34:51We should go to the beach.
00:35:21Yeah.
00:35:51Well, I was up with the lies.
00:35:55My heart is chasing my dreams.
00:35:59I'm thinking about you last night.
00:36:04You took my arms under the stars.
00:36:08And I'm going around.
00:36:12And when you drove off into the dark.
00:36:16I still dare to let you in.
00:36:20What's he doing?
00:36:23He's gathering wood for his art.
00:36:27That's cool.
00:36:30That's all he's got.
00:36:33That's all he's got.
00:36:36That's cool.

01:15:17Sometimes the tide is raging.
01:15:21And sometimes she's just so still.

01:15:31Give her yesterday's memories or tomorrow's.
01:15:35It don't matter.
