So let me explain a little futher why I was, in fact, slightly worried of what we might find. Reese had informed us when he left with his "butt pack" of supplies that if he wasnt back when the sun was just over the trees (~8:30 pm), he was in trouble and we should find him. The sun was actually way past the top of the trees when we started our journey to look for him, so we were already a little worried that he hadnt returned. Reese had also tricked us earlier in the day so Chen and I were skeptical that maybe this was also a trick to see if we would go looking for him, and that he might be setting us up for a scare. As we were walking down this unfamilair path (thinking of the horror hiking stories we had heard earlier), I was leading the way and Chen chucked his apple core fiercly into the woods. Thinking it was something running at us fromt he woods it startled me slightly and Chen found the humor in the situation. A few steps later we found Reese's map folded with the front side up laying very neatly in the very middle of the trail - like a sign for us to find. There was his map - but no sign of Reese. I think anyone might become "slightly worried" at that point especially if they've seen as many television shows where people leave items as a sign. Chen and I continued up the trail and not too much farther we found Reese enjoying the spectacular view of Lake Superior from a rock ledge, unaware that he had left his map for us to find. So there were a series of events leading up to the "slightly worried" state that I was in when we found Reese. Beef Jerky - signing out.
