  3. Lost! I’m having a hard time catching my breath. I thought for sure that if I got to the top of the mountain, I would be able to see the campgrounds where my family was camped below me. Unfortunately, all I see is more trees. My short hike in the woods has turned into a scary, lonely experience. To make things worse, I am so thirsty. Maybe I could go back to the stream I crossed a ways back and get a drink, but I heard that you could get really sick drinking water with bacteria in it. I don’t know what to do!
