It was a twenty minute drive from Friday Harbor – not much chance of making it there and back running through the storm. Closer is someplace called Roche Harbor, and it’s with this goal that Brandon sets out.After blocking open the pedestrian gate with a small stone, Brandon sets off, feet pounding a regular rhythm on the wet asphalt. Returning to West Side Rd., the route traveled by Slocum on the way in, Brandon turns north. There are no streetlights, only the lights of homes glimpsed through the rainy darkness some distance away from the road. In places the road winds through stands of firs, in others grassy meadows. After a few miles Brandon can dimly make out a sign for Lime Kiln Point State Park – a yellow pipe gate blocks the entrance. Past the park the road begins to climb through the steep, fir-covered hills at the north end of the island. The combination of the terrain and the weather prove daunting, and after covering at least four miles already and facing at least another three to four to reach Roche Harbor, Brandon reluctantly retraces his steps to the Martin’s guest house.Everyone is asleep on his return.You may save your Gather Information skill check roll for another time. Brandon narrowly avoids catching a cold from exposure...</blockquote>
