Asher continued the lead them in the direction that the fake prisoner had pointed them. There were signs of broken branches that created a path. He had learned that this was a good way to remember where you had been when lost in the wilderness. The staff members had utilized this perfectly.
"There are a bunch more footprints here, it's like someone has been going back and forth. I can't even tell where they were coming from." Asher realized that his tracking ability was just too low. He needed to fully rely on the broken branches.
"What about the noise?" Asher ha sheen so focused on the footprints that he had missed the sounds of muffled conversation nearby.
"You're right Louis. I wasn't paying attention." Asher focused on his hearing and found that he could hear campers talking about how much longer it would take and complaining about the dark.
