	Noah stood nearby his things as the rest of the group arrived. While he was setting his things down, Daniel was laughing at one of his 'puns' as he was repeating 'cigarette'. Noah gave him a worried laugh as he didn't want to see rude toward Daniel and his so-called 'jokes'. Cecil, Eliza, and Felix soon arrived at the location with their camping gear for the long trip. Then, Val showed up with a plastic lunch box full of brownies. Noah went towards her and thanked her for the brownies as he grabbed only one. The brownie was the best thing that he ever had as he could taste the fresh and warm chocolate. Noah was smiling ear to ear as he ate the entire brownie before Phoebe arrived and their 'quest' began. 

Champlain Forest was beautiful during the day, despite the skeletal trees that were all over the forest. The group kept walking deeper into the woods as the heat was getting to them. Noah, thankfully, had some bottled waters in his backpack as he went to get one of them. He should of got one before they left the meeting grounds, but he wasn't thinking at all. Then, they stopped at a small picnic area that wasn't kept clear as Debra ensured the group that she knew where they were going. Noah didn't say anything as he quickly grabbed another water bottle and placed the barely empty one back. The adventure kept going until the group stopped at the nearby river. The river looked like it could drag someone across the forest and kill them before they could yell for help.

The only way to cross the river was a log. A log. 

Noah shook his head as he saw the log and the fresh boot prints. He knew that everyone would try to cross the river by using that log. Debra tried to ensure the entire group that it was safe to cross, but Noah wasn't buying it. She even took off her cap as some sort of oath, but she used it to get the bugs away from her. That 'oath' didn't help Noah at all. Even know the log had fresh boot prints, he wasn't sure that crossing the river by log was a smart idea. Noah tried to speak on the matter, but Phoebe told Debra that they could cross the river by swimming it. 

Noah wasn't sure if she was joking or not, but he hoped that she was. She asked if someone wanted to volunteer to swim across the deadly river. Noah responded to Debra's question, [color=LightSteelBlue]"I am sure that even a professor swimmer, like Steve Lundquist, won't be able to make it across this river."[/color]
