DAY 6 EVENT - Hike to Find Water

[Kristi Lynne]

Hike to Find Water

James and Mia hike inland in an attempt to find a source of fresh water.

Journey goes from box G4 to F4 below:

Each box is 3 miles by 3 miles. It takes an hour to walk 3 miles. But also keep in mind that hiking (like that really steep hill to get to higher ground) will take a heck of a lot longer and that if you're running (like from some jungle thing), that you'll get somewhere faster.

Mia brushed aside a tree branch as she checked the compass she'd pocketed from someone's carry-on. "Jack said if we keep north, that should put us on a heading toward the cockpit," she declared over her shoulder to James. "Don't know what we'll find there but it's a starting point. Another interesting day for your diary entry, huh?"

Callum Cleary

Callum couldn't stay on the beach any longer, just sitting around doing nothing except think about his family, when rescue will come, if it would ever come. So after hearing someone say something about two people going to find a water source, Callum decided to go find them and help out.

"Jack said if we keep north, that should put us on a heading toward the cockpit. Don't know what we'll find there but it's a starting point. Another interesting day for your diary entry, huh?"

Callum followed the voice and saw a man and woman.

"Excuse me!" He shouted to catch their attention as he made his way over to them, "I heard you two are searching for a source of fresh water. Mind if I join you?"

[Just Joe]

Another interesting day for your diary entry, huh?"

"Well, you know what they say, life's never dull when you're trapped and fighting to survive. Although if the food runs out as quickly as the water I may well have to eat that diary."

"Excuse me! I heard you two are searching for a source of fresh water. Mind if I join you?"

"No, please do! It'll be one more person to help break the bad news if we can't find anything!" James called back.

[Doctor Lassie]

For a second, Mia thought about sending the dark-haired newcomer back to the beach, not wanting to worry about his welfare. She could take care of herself and James had already survived one trip into the jungle. But the guy wanted to help and maybe he had some special water-finding powers. "Sure, the more the merrier," she replied. "The optimist here is James. I'm Mia. And I welcome any advice. I live in the Arizona desert so this isn't really in my wheelhouse."

Callum had let out a small sigh if relief. He had a little doubt that they would tell him to go back to the beach.

"I'm Callum, but most people call me Cal" He told them, "I hardly know anything about jungles. Sorry that I've got no advice"

Amber Wellington

Amber walked towards the small collection of people with her camera around her neck and an old Black Sabbath t shirt which she had ripped the sleeves and bottom half off of before she put it on as the heat of the island never seemed to let up. "Are you the guys going to find water? If it's not to much hassle can I tag along? I would like to get some real pictures of the Island."

"Are you the guys going to find water? If it's not to much hassle can I tag along? I would like to get some real pictures of the Island."

Mia threw a look at James as the female shutterbug made her presence known. "I guess everyone got the memo," she commented, surprised that news traveled so quickly across a big island. "Nope, no hassle," she said to Amber. "Just try to keep up between photo ops. We don't want to lose anyone else, and I'd rather not still be out here when the sun goes down." She began her forward pace again, trying to divide her attention between the compass and the unfamiliar terrain.

Amber smiled and put her hand on her forehead in a saluting manner "Aye aye captain!" Amber then began to walk at the groups pace as they adventured for water.
