Hitting The Road

Adam rolled his eyes and got in the front seat insisting on driving the jeep. He knew his friend was gullible, he easily believed anything and everything. So they went along with it. The other two rode shotgun and back seat, respectively. They put on some tunes on the radio and were ready to hit the road!

The Drive

The drive towards the woods was magnificent. Tall pine trees spread as far as eyes could see. The jeep bumped and dipped into the road as they continued to drive through the woods. At last, they reached the dirt trail, and Adam pulled up the car onto the side. From this point forward, their trek starts. They have to walk on the pathway and reach their campsite. 

Into The Wild

The trio loaded up on their gears and equipment, ready to begin their trek. Adam had marked their trail on a map and was confident about his sense of direction. He did have the trusty old compass that has accompanied him on many treks and hikes in the wilderness. The trio loaded their rucksacks on their backs and with that began, what would turn out to be, the most incredible journey of their lives. 

Short Break

The boys kept a steady pace for the initial distance of their trail. By the time it was almost noon, they decided to take a short break. The sun was peeking through the crisscrossed branches of the tree that spread above them. They took out their coolers and had some beers and coleslaw sandwiches. The map and the compass were tucked away in Adam’s back pocket. 

Cutting Through

Right after finishing up with lunch, the boys sprinted back on the track. Adam led the way, as usual, cutting through the branches and the bushes. He did not need to check his map too often as his compass was doing a good job of helping him with directions. Once they reached a split on the trail, Adam had to pull out his map again to check where they are headed. 

Losing The Item

Adam was examining the trail he marked on the map when he realized that his back pocket is empty. He wanted to use his compass to cross-check the directions once but his back pocket was empty. He must have dropped it somewhere! Adam tried to not freak out but he knew finding his way will be difficult without a compass.
