The pair is believed to have traveled to the Sandy Trails campground, a favorite spot of theirs. Records for that night show that the campground was full, others were empty though, not wanting to walk back to their cars it is believed the pair camped in the middle of the woods off the tiny island. It is beleived that this night was uneventful. The video camera that the pair had on them does not make an entry until the next night. Analysis of the tape is inconclusive.
Video tape shows the pair arguing about which way is the right way to go.
An argument over who has the map reveals that the two never had a map. The two wander around the forrest, ultimately giving up and camping another night. The events of that night are still in doubt, two two possibilities do exist. The pair venture out into the woods early in the morning between 2 and 4 am. They venture into a secluded shack believed to be owned by hermit Walt Flannagan.
