Arriving at their usual camping spot the three men unload their gear from the back of Bens SUV and begin to pitch their tents. Joe and Ben decided to share the larger tent while Dan gets his own pop-up tent.
Taking just a few minutes to assemble them the three men discuss their day at work, their girl friends, whatever is on their minds. Idle chat to clear themselves of the stress of a long week. Ben doesnt tell them about the adventure he has had, and doesnt want to scare them, yet. He decides it would make a nice campfire story to share with them and see if they believe him. Either way he can always laugh it off as an elaborate joke.
Completing their tents and having dug a small hole to build a fire in the three men wander off in different directions in search of large rocks, and firewood, for their evening campfire. In the back of the SUV a cooler full of snacks and beer awaits their return.
