It’s just after sunset and the wine and vodka are starting to take effect. We noticed Shane was hitting his adult beverages pretty hard but he expla...ned he’d had a bad week at work. As the evening goes on Shane excuses himself to take a leak. After about 10 minutes, we realized, "Where the heck is Shane?" We go searching for him and find him slightly staggering about trying to find his way back to camp. It seems leaving camp without a flashlight but full of vodka isn’t a good combination.A few.

Having worked homicide for fourteen years that’s a statement I feel I can make with some authority. You just don’t get used to some things.
