A trip on the water... hopefully without any drowning! It would be a fair sight better than having to turn to the woods, which held too many of the wrong kinds of memories.

Walter catches that reaching motion, offering an equally-quick appreciative smile.

"Might be a mix of the two."

Though the latter method was somewhat unfair, if people had been injured in the flood, let alone were still dealing with pre-existing conditions.

In any case, Walter keeps right on after recovering from that stumble, taking note of this tilted mailbox or that patch of remains of a ruined birds' nest.

"No one's come along this way looking for disaster footage; I suppose that's a relief..."

He really didn't want to be on camera - or rather, the news.
