OK, now I am amused…  With the sheep that Mark and Wes were fixing to “shoot” perched high above them and mocking them mercilessly, we are being asked to believe that the “men” are perched precariously on a mountainside, with Mark’s voice emanating from the very essence of our Mother Earth… and why is it getting snowier?  It would seem that they are walking INTO trouble, not away from it.  But who am I to judge??

And out of what, pray tell, will Mark build his shelter?  I cannot wait to see what he is able to whip up in these dire circumstances…  but then he IS Mark Trail, and I dasn’t doubt him, not even for a minute.   Wes continues to worry about “the girls…” Imagine how worried he would be if he knew that the wolf pack was circling!

Another thought… why would you take a novice, and especially one that has not a shred of enthusiasm about the whole endeavor, on a high altitude/ high adventure junket?  Aren’t we just asking for trouble??
