Always Hike with a Buddy!
Bring a whistle with you and blow the following signal for help:
3 long blasts - 3 short blasts - 3 long blasts, wait a moment, Listen, then repeat until you hear an answering whistle or bell. Then single blasts every ten seconds and we will find you real fast. Okay ! (Whistles will be available at main dining hall)
