Hikers Lost In the Woods

I read this incredible story of two people who got lost hiking and found a campsite of a guy who got lost hiking last year and was never found. Two people went for a hike in the woods, got off the trail, and became lost. When these two people, fairly young and at a sales conference, came across the campsite they found the lost hiker's knapsack. In it they found a diary with the last entry the exact same day one year earlier. Amazing. They also found matches which they started a large fire and a helicopter saw the smoke, found them and rescued them.

So here is the thing. In an interview they said they left the marked trail. Briefly. Hmm. Two young people, a couple, together at a resort for a conference out on a hike in beautiful surroundings, leave a hiking trail. A marked hiking trail. Hmm?? I wonder why?? Why would they leave the trail? The marked trail? Briefly leave it? I don't know? Can't imagine. Maybe to run after a beautiful snow white rabbit that smiled at them. Maybe not. Not sure why they would leave the trail, these two young fairly attractive fit people. Can't think of a reason why. Not me. Not where my mind is going. Can't think of one reason why.

So anyway, after they realized they were lost I have a feeling the conversation went something like this.

Woman: You just HAD to get some action out here. You couldn't wait until later. Oh no, we're in the beautiful mountains you said. We're all alone you said. Let's experience the beauty in another way you said. Now I'm going to die before we even get to have the wedding.

Man: For the millionth time, I said I was SORRY. I was in the mood. I couldn't help it.

Woman: YOU WERE IN THE MOOD!!!! WE'RE LOST AND GOING TO DIE.

Man: If we're going to die anyway, we might as well...

Woman: Don't say it.

Man: I said I was sorry.

Woman: I said we should go back to the hotel. But NOOOOOO, you just couldn't wait. And now we're walking through 2 foot ferns hoping to find a park ranger. You are never going to get...

Man: You agreed.

Woman: I AGREED??!!?? Do not blame this on me Casanova. You said that we only had to go a few feet.

Man: You were the one that wanted to keep walking.

Woman: I didn't want our regional sales manager to see us, he was like 50 yards behind us on the freakin trail.

Man: Well, since we are out here, and alone...
