Rocks at the river
I grew up not far from a river. It was a broad, dirty green water stream, not at all as romantic as in Huckleberry Finn. But as a nine year old you are not picky about running waters. Every place that provides a hideout to stroll around and play with your life is a magnet to a boy.
I was often sitting on the big rough rocks they had put at the riverside to keep the stream in line. I had stored and later lost my treasures in the carves between the rocks. Some of these were caves that big, half of a nine year old would fit inside. We often used them to play our adventure games.
