Brian realized, as the pilot landed the plane onto the lake,

• just how lucky he had been to survive his own experience in landing a plane,

• how much he wanted to be a pilot,

• that his fear of crashing again was stronger than he had thought.

The lake was

• nothing like it had appeared on the map,

• almost perfectly round with a river flowing southeast through a forest,

• larger and more isolated that Brian had expected.

It occurred to Brian that Derek was excited because he

• didn’t understand the situation they were going into,

• was obviously a person who liked a challenge,

• knew something he hadn’t shared during the planning stage.

Brian noticed that Derek

• seemed to be at home in the wilderness,

• wasn’t very coordinated or athletic,

• seemed to be eager for the pilot to leave.

When Brian and Derek landed at the lake, it was

• a bright spring morning

• a crisp early autumn day,

• a soft summer afternoon.

Once on shore, Brian found himself

• suddenly changed into what he was before at the other lake,

• regretting his decision to come to the lake and endure the hardship,

• remembering vivid details about his family and home.

Brian knew that, in six to seven hours,

• Derek would lose his enthusiasm,

• the pilot would be out of radio range,

• there would be rain.

If the emergency supplies were unloaded, Brian predicted they would

• be useless in the wilderness,

• be used,

• make the experiment last much longer than they had planned.

Brian and Derek agreed to

• send a note to his mother letting her know they had arrived safely,

• take the radio off the plane,

• pitch a tent and prepare for the impending rain.
