You retrace your steps back to the mine entrance and then hurry away along the base of the ravine. Dusk is fast becoming darkness and you have barely covered a mile when the ravine ends abruptly at the edge of a deep gorge. Less than a hundred yards away to the west you can see a rocky knoll with a slate base that juts out over the rim of this steep, wooded valley. To the east, the gorge cuts a deep furrow through the forest for several miles. There appears to be no easy way of avoiding the gorge, but you are far from keen to attempt any descent in the dark. Instead, you decide to find somewhere safe where you can set up camp and await the dawn.
