Sierra Nevada The California Gold Rush drew people from all over the world to the rugged Sierra Nevadas. Now it's a hiker's dream - and still attracting visitors from across the globe. You can easily hike for miles and miles here. The problem is... it's just as easy to get lost. Les finds himself in the predicament of a lost hiker. Traveling with a typical "day hiker" pack, which contains provisions for an overnight stay only, Les must make the most of what he's brought with him and scrounge the rest. Fortunate to have a tent, he still needs to find nourishment without stumbling into poison oak, which abounds in this area. Miner's lettuce, wild onions, manzanita flowers, pine buds and acorns are but a few of the local flora he can eat. As night falls, it's time for fire and Les makes short use of his flashlight, turning this battery-powered utility into a real "torch." As the seventh day of his ordeal dawns, the local search-and-rescue unit takes to the air and land to try and find Les. Truly lost at this point, Les could be in real trouble if they don't find him...
