Matt propped himself against a tree and tried to pull his jeans up so he could see his knees but his pant legs were too tight. He probably should stand and take his jeans off, but it seemed like too much of an effort.

What had gotten into Pawnee? Sure, it had been pretty steep back there, but it wasn’t as if it was the first time they’d climbed. There was a lot of shale; maybe it had felt slippery under Pawnee’s feet and that’s what had set him to bucking. Maybe Pawnee had heard something he hadn’t.

Bucking. He’d done that all right, so quick and unexpected that Matt had been flying through the air before he knew what was happening. If he hadn’t been wearing his backpack, his balance might have been better.

What did it matter? Pawnee had run away and he’d landed on his hands and knees and for a few minutes had been so shook up that he hadn’t understood what had happened. Thank heavens he’d been wearing his pack. Otherwise he’d have nothing to eat tonight, not even a bed roll.

He licked the corner of his mouth but there wasn’t so much as a taste left of the soggy granola bars he’d had for dinner. Reaching out, he tried to snag his pack to see what else might be in there, but he couldn’t reach it without having to move and his knees were already stiff and getting stiffer. Besides, he had to quit eating like a pig.

Sighing, he closed his eyes and tried to concentrate on the yapping coyotes, but no matter how hard he tried, it didn’t work. This was his second night out and he was nowhere near the top of Copper. In fact, he wasn’t at all sure—

But he would be in the morning. All he had to do was find a tall enough tree to climb or scramble up a boulder and then he could figure out where he was and where he needed to go.

You’ve been saying that all day. So far you haven’t—

You think it’s so darn easy, you try making sense of all these trees and rocks and hills and valleys and—

Stop it! All right, just stop it!

Feeling exhausted by the argument, he opened his eyes and tried to make out the man in the moon. He thought he saw his grinning face, not that it really mattered. What did matter was getting enough sleep that he could get to the top of the stupid mountain and back down tomorrow before his mom started looking for him.
