Great Bear Wilderness We get to carry each other

@Burke - as promised and if you have time! :)


When Osprey had lived in Blacktail deer plateau and wandered more often than she had now, an almost accurate map of the surrounding territories was kept in her memory and helped her more than once return home from particularly far and adventurous journeys. Now, however, as she traveled down South, taking a different, unknown route, with a vague sense of the direction and the big red "X" at the place she had to end up, she found herself a bit lost between the third and fourth day of her journey. 

On the upside - the weather was still pleasant and nights were warm, therefore hours spent on sniffing around, taking in the landmarks and doing some star-gazing in order to get back to the right track, weren't that bad. She tried to think positively about this - as a way to refresh her skills that had got a little rusty from lack of use. However, in the afternoon of the fourth day, when it was clear that she was still within the "terra incognita" and no idea, how to get either forward or turn back, she gave up and stopped to take a rest by a lake (Big Salmon lake on the map). ...............................................................
