波莉坐上了他的卡车。托马斯已经当了十四年的护林员。他开得很慢,经常停下来。
第一站是一个湿润的草地。托马斯在寻找熊的踪迹。“六月的时候,这里会长出玉簪花。熊会吃它们。”
波莉跳到窗边。玉簪花像小小的绿色尖刺。
卡车继续爬坡,空气变得凉爽。在一个路口,托马斯指了指。一只游隼停在岩石上。波莉看着它。游隼从岩石上跃下,消失不见了。
“游隼在悬崖上筑巢,”托马斯说。“今年我们有六对。”
波莉观察着游隼如何收拢翅膀俯冲。她也想试试。
后来,托马斯走进树林。他回来时手里拿着一个金属罐。“有人试图埋掉这个防熊箱。”
中午时,他们到达了奥姆斯特德观景点。波莉看到了广阔的景色。远处的特纳亚湖。半圆顶从后面露出。灰色的山脉在远方。
“大多数人都开车经过这里,”托马斯说。他在杯子里倒了一点咖啡,把杯子放在仪表盘上。“待一会儿吧。”
