"I feel like a jungle explorer," Dee said, pushing his way through the undergrowth. "Maybe we'll discover ancient ruins or somethin' exciting like that, somethin' nobody's seen for thousands of years!"

Behind him, Ryo chuckled. "Maybe a Native American burial ground, a mysterious monument to some forgotten god, or an alien landing site."

"You're makin' fun of me." Dee glanced back over his shoulder.

"Just a little. We're hiking in a State Park, Dee, not the jungles of South America. Anything we might happen across has probably been seen by thousands of people already. Park Rangers will have mapped every inch, especially close to the camping areas."

"You don't know that for sure. We still might find somethin' good: buried treasure, Aztec gold, even just flint arrowheads."

"Is that why you're insisting on battling our way through the thickest undergrowth you can find instead of sticking to the trails?"

"'Course! Never gonna stand a chance of findin' anything on trails everyone uses."

"About the only thing you might find in here is a bear, or maybe a snake."

That brought Dee to a halt. "Uh, maybe we should keep to the trails, where we can see what we're treadin' on."
