Regular Hike
It was a normal day in August for Austin and his stepfather, Hubert. They took off to enjoy a hike in the wild world of the Smoky Mountains. In fact, they’d been on the trail before, so they weren’t too concerned about rain or other issues.
Staying on Guard
Austin and Hubert fully understood that their situation could change at a moment’s notice, so they didn’t completely let down their guard. The endless terrain of scrub and trees made it easy to get disoriented, but they were with each other and couldn’t foresee any issues.
