A fart and cough break the silence.
Hiker Don Gallagher, 16, isn't fooled. Someone in
the lean-to shelter wanted to drown out the fart,
but the sounds didn't coincide. Who's the culprit
keeping everyone awake?
Difficulty with sleep isn't Don's only concern.
He's a runaway from home. The authorities are
searching for him.
He's hiding on the Appalachian Trail, where a boy
with a backpack won't draw unwanted attention.
Or so he hopes.
