We walked for ages. Matt grew heavier and heavier, but I didn't say anything to Luke. It was getting close to evening when I decided we needed to stop.
"Where should we stop for the night?" I asked Luke. He and Matt rode around the country side. I was hoping he would know of somewhere.
"There's a river close to here," He replied, taking advantage of our brief stop to drop the pack on the ground. "There's trees for firewood and shelter."
