I was beside the road talking to Randy trying to figure it out when a PA state trooper turned on hi light and pulled over and asked if everything was ok and offered me and Shiver a ride. I turned it down and asked the name of the road just to make sure of where I was. After we found the tent with our gear we filled up our water and headed out. I accidentally left my bite valve open and I got the bottom of my pack wet and lost some water. After going under 81 and climbing the Mountain the trial was very bushy with a lot of poison ivy. Shiver found a camp spot around 7 ish and tried calling me but my cell phone was off. I found one about 7:45 and turned on my phone to call her and got her message to late. So here I my first night alone in the woods.
