We had a great hike, Griff did well, spent two nights in the wilderness. In the middle of the second night I was awakened by a two search and rescue guys who were looking for a couple that had gone out on a day hike and didn't return. Scared the piss out of me to see spotlights moving through the woods in the dead of night, we saw plenty of dayhikers but we were the only ones camping.
