Saved the Japanese

Today we went to the wave. The Commander is like a kid in a candy store there. It is the premier rock area in the United States, and perhaps the world. It is very difficult to get permission to visit. Today was our second time. Although Lord Kadizzle objected and was ready to go back to civilization, The Commander insisted we do some exploring. Up a canyon we went. The Commander sank in some quick sand, and was ready to give up the expedition, but Lord Kadizzle got some energy from some where and decided to push on through some difficult areas. Earlier Lord Kadizzle had seen some people that appeared to be lost off in the distance, but figured they two were exploring. As we went up the canyon, his Lordship heard some voices. A young Japanese couple was coming down the canyon, Lord Kadizzle asked if they were going to the wave. The Commander thought they had already been to the Wave and was going to leave them. They spoke poor English, and after a little quizzing it was evident they were lost. They were very lucky we found them. We were the only people for miles and they likely they would have been lost all night. The Japanese did not understand how trails are marked in this country with cairns. All the federal agencies in the United States seem to take pride in marking trails poorly. It is so simple and cheap to do it, but they seem to prefer rescues.
