A Keepsake - Empire! Empire! (I Was a Lonely Estate)[00:00:00]

When I was eight or nine[00:00:02]

I took a trip up north with my brother my father[00:00:06]

And my uncle[00:00:19]

We woke up early and packed bagged lunches[00:00:26]

And cans of pop into a cooler[00:00:39]

And drove to a canoe rental in Mesick[00:00:45]

We split up in two canoes[00:00:55]

I imagined us as Lewis and Clark[00:01:02]

Charting acres of unspoiled land[00:01:08]

As the Manistee opened up like a canvas[00:01:14]

We crawled at a slow lazy pace[00:01:20]

And reached the landing as the sun began to slide[00:01:25]

Behind the horizon[00:01:31]

And pulled our boats ashore[00:01:35]

It was still warm and we were exhausted[00:01:40]

So we jumped into the water to cool off[00:01:44]

As my uncle launched into a speech[00:01:51]

About the history of the Petoskey stone[00:01:58]

And how rare it would be to find any here[00:02:08]

Then he reached into the river bed[00:02:13]

And pulled one out on his very first try[00:02:18]

We spent the rest of our time trying to find another one[00:02:24]

But came up empty handed[00:02:33]
