Hey, Roarke, if that hat's so lucky,

I want it back!

Hi.

- He's down.

- Mm-hmm.

Well, had a big day.

It's kind of warm.

That's the way I like it.

Did you finish

your sketches yet?

No. No, I didn't.

And it's not a sketch, Gail.

- You know, it's very important.

- Very important, I know.

- So, tomorrow...

- What?

Could you just pretend

to like it here a little bit?

For Roarke's sake,

if not for mine.

I don't do too bad at pretending

to like your stuff, so...

Is that what you do?

Pretend to like my stuff?

- No. You know, that's not what I mean.

- You don't have to.

And just don't.

And don't do me any favors, either.

I don't.

I won't.

Gail.

- Listen, don't you ever realize...

- Let's just stop, okay?

You never...

Oh, please!

Whoa, it's cold!

Whoo!

Wow!

Hey, look, Mom!

Graffiti!

Oh, wow!

Those are pictographs.

They were made by people...

who lived here thousands of years

before white men came.

So those are their hands?

Those markings might've been

made by a boy your age...

while he was

on his vision quest.

See?

Are you sure there's

fish around here, Mom?

Over there, honey.

Right in the current.

Hey there!

We've been waitin' for you.

I should've suspected something

when he had us camp at the walk-out.

Frank and Terry'd been

arguing most of the day.

Frank used to be married

to my sister...

until she realized

what a butthole he was.

Anyway, Frank said things

he shouldn't have said.

And this morning,

we woke up and he was gone.

Why didn't you guys just follow him out,

walk out with him?

That would have been

the smart thing to do...

but I didn't want

to give him the satisfaction.

And what he was doin' with the oars

didn't look that hard...

so we just headed downriver...

and we saw this.

That's when we decided

to wait for you guys.

- Wade said you used to be a guide here.

- Yeah. Roarke, come over here.

Is there any way

we could walk out of here...

- like go up the canyon and...

- Uh, well, you might...

but once you got up

to that canyon rim...

and headed back to the ranger station,

there's a huge gorge.

You'd have to walk around it.

Even if you had the equipment

and knew what you were doing...

and where you were going,

it'd take you five or six days.

Looks like we're stuck.

Well, we...

- I could get you as far as Bridal Creek.

- Yeah.

We... wouldn't want

to be a burden.

Well...

it doesn't look

like you have much choice.

All right.

Anyway, it's not as bad as it looks.

- You just got to stay to the right.

- Maggie!

There's a bad hole on the left.

Don't hit that.

No.

Come on, Mags! Time to go!

Honey, would you go up

and get her?

Stay to the right, and if you
