a group without any drinking water,they could have had lake water,has a member go down with heat stroke.they hit the SPOT but it's another group of canoe trippers that they meet up with that race out in empty canoes--and more--to get help.
just a couple quick edits..ep is entry points,we talk in terms of ep's to say where we launch the canoes.the sheriff they met would have been on dirt road that twist's and turns around lakes and bogs and not a highway and Ely is a "end of the road town"
