Two Days In The Wilderness

Two Days In The Wilderness

In April when Mark, Marissa, Geri and Stephan went manaqing at Cuilnguk the weather was really nice. They were going to their "official" fishing spot on two snow-machines.

It stayed nice out the whole time they were fishing. But as they were coming home it started getting stormy. They kept on going anyway, thinking they would reach Marshall before the storm got worse. Then Mark noticed they were going the wrong way and he stopped and waited for Stephan and Geri.

They decided to backtrack and start over again. As they did this the girls started to panic and the boys argued about the trail. One of the girls hollered and asked if anyone had told somebody where they were manaqing. It turned out that nobody else knew but them. So they had to put their heads together and figure out what to do instead of arguing. The boys checked how much gas they had and then drove over to an area with trees so they could make a shelter for themselves. The girls helped the boys gather some sticks and branches to make a shelter, then they built a fire and ate some of the food they'd brought with them. Since they hadn't brought sleeping bags they had to sit close to the fire all night to stay warm.

The next day they ate what was left of their grub and looked for the trail back home since the weather was good out. But there was one problem, the trail had been covered by the storm. Now they were lost. The boys hadn't payed any attention to the landmarks while they were going to Cuilnguk and this was the consequence they had to face. So all they could do was make another fire and wait. Meanwhile the girls cooked up some fish and kept the fire going in case a plane spotted them.

While everyone was sitting around and talking they heard a snow-machine in the distance. So they all got on their own machines and drove toward the noise. At last, they found someone to guide them home, someone who knew the area.

Next time they promised to be more aware of the landmarks and to tell others where they were going.
