Story Forty-five - Tony Has Been Hiking
Tony has been hiking in the mountains for three days.
He's had to stop to look at his map.
He should have been going West, but he doesn't recognize anything on the map.

He would like to use his phone map to check, but the hiking brochure said there would be no reception in the mountains.
Tony decides to set up camp for the night.
Maybe if he gets some sleep, he'll be able to figure it out tomorrow.
