Once said, it was now about 10 o'clock pm, and the sun had just set meaning they had less than an hour before it was completely dark. “It is going to be dark soon, so I think we need to get a fire going and try to get some sleep if we can,” Said Danielle. “I think you are right. We are tired already and sore,” Said Bill, “By the way, where did you get a satellite phone?” “Its the clubs, since I’m a member I have a phone with me, just in case.” “Fortunate for us, I’d say,” Said Betsy. “The backpack is with me all the time. Here, I have a large emergency tarp here in my S&R kit so that we can rig up a lean-to, then I will start to find some wood to burn.” Danielle stood up and looked out to the west toward the Alyeska pipeline to see if she could see any destination. Just on the other side of the valley below them, she saw what appeared to be a pump station. She pulled out a small pair of binoculars from her backpack. Oh yes, and a thin strip… a runway!
