Night. Marcus couldn't sleep so he sat in his bed thinking what he wanted to do next.
"What am I doing?" He asked himself. He had been feeling that way ever since that book of his father grabbed his attention.
He went to his drawer and looked for his travel backpack. He took some clothes with him, ropes, lighters, a knife, canned goods and a photo of him and his Father some eight years ago then tucked it all inside. He rechecked his backpack ensuring he did not miss anything. His lists were complete.
"This would do it. I have three days of food. I can survive the trip. I just have to start early. Oh and yes , I need to sleep. Da_n it!"
Marcus went back on his bed and with flashlight on hand began to read the drawings in his father's book.
"The book says I need to start here but this direction was closed by the avalanche. However, this one is pointing to another opening. Is this another entrance to the cave?"
