Come on guys, keep moving.

Good times.

I really thought you were

gonna change your mind.

Why?

I dunno, last time we met,

you just seemed upset.

It was Dad's funeral.

So, how was graduation?

Well, I passed.

I made it.

That's good.

Man, I couldn't wait to

get out of high school.

College is so much better.

Trust me.

I don't really think I'm gonna

do the whole college thing.

I don't really have the grades,

and Mom really doesn't have the money,

so I figured I'd go

get a job or something.

Hey, there's nothing wrong with that.

My degree hasn't done sh*t for me.

What the hell is that?

Oh man.

What is that?

I dunno, it doesn't look good.

Cheese, hold, what are you doing?

Cheese.

Hey.

Sam.

Wait.

This is a bad idea.

Excuse me, excuse me.

Oh my God.

Jesus, what the hell happened?

Looks like a bear attack.

Don't worry, the rangers

are on their way.

Drake.

Drake.

Come on, we gotta keep moving.

Keep moving?

What about her,

shouldn't we do something?

Look, it's a horrible thing,

but help's on the way.

We keep moving.

I'm with Drake.

Let's get the hell out of here.

Hey.

Hey.

What?

Isn't that the main trail?

You paid for a guide, right?

Guys, you don't need me

for the main trail.

You can just follow the mob of tourists.

We're going off-trail.

Come on.

What about the bear?

Bear won't mess with the five of us,

there's safety in numbers.

Hey, be careful, watch your step.

Wet shoes will ruin your day.

Just go slow, it'll be fine.

Sorry.

Sh*t, damn, fire.

Gonna be a long 10 days.

Up this way, guys.

Keep up.

Hey guys, you go ahead.

I'll catch up.

Go ahead.

Hello?

Guys.

Hello?

Guys?

Guys, hold up.

You guys are gonna see things

those tourists on the

main trail never see.

Just gorgeous.

You okay, Dan?

Yeah.

I'm fine, no problem.

Alright, let's relax for a second.

It's the first time I can remember

not having internet or

a cellphone that works.

Technology's a crutch, kid.

Government wants you hooked

on it so they can watch you.

Control you.

It's a scam.

I wouldn't call it a crutch.

I'd call it pretty good living.

- Yeah?

- Yeah.

Seen the news lately?

No.

It's everywhere, man.

Surveillance drones,

NSA information gathering.

Spy satellites.

They're taking away our rights

and our privacy bit by bit,

and no one really cares.

That's scary sh*t, man.

This was once all Cherokee land.

It was considered sacred ground,

and trespassers would

be killed on sight.

The Nunahee, or the Immortals,

were said to inhabit these mountains.

They were the protectors.

Spirit guides.

And they would help the Cherokee.

Legend has it when the

Cherokee were driven

from these lands, the

Nunahee left, leaving a void.
