"If I remember correctly, the map says our campsite is west of our current position," Hiram offered. "West it is, replied the Trail Master, "and we'd best hurry if we want to get out of this river gorge in time for some of Cook's famous camp-style fare.""Yeah, we'll never make it out if we get caught down here after nightfall, and I'm hungry so let's move!"

Very nice. I have some friends who hike at Yosemite every year. I can see them playing this out in my mind. Good write.
