The geology field trip along the Appalachian Trail was to be a fun learning experience. Your class from Penn State was hiking along some trail cuts bordering interesting geological sites. There had been very heavy rain the past few weeks, delaying the trip, but today the weather was hot and supposed to be mostly clear, a few scattered summer showers expected, but nothing to worry about. You were chatting with Riley, your lab partner, and lost track of the group, but weren't worried as this was a linear stretch of trail between your group's milestones. As you walked to catch up, a warm summer rain squall hit, drenching you both, and as you turned a corner in the trail, there was a washout blocking further progress. Undisturbed, you turned back to make the 10 mile trek to the start point, calling the main group to affirm everyone was all right.
