A helicopter would fly Julia and Blake up to the highline, dropping them about a day's walk away from Deadhorse. They would follow the trail, the same direction Eric was supposed to be traveling, searching for him along the way. They'd go as far as the base of Deadhorse Pass, questioning anyone else they came across. The sheriff gave them until 6 p.m.

Julia and Blake grabbed their packs and headed out to board the chopper. It lifted off, carrying them toward the forested flank of the Uinta Mountains. Julia peered out the window, and the aerial perspective overwhelmed her.

My life seems to straddle two extremes. Am I in the office or in the mountains? I might need a sun hoodie one day and a sports coat the next. Now, I'm not overly trendy, but I do want to wear stuff that's good quality and ethically produced. I recently placed an order with Quince because their summer lineup has that good balance of luxury appearance and feel without the markup of other brands.

One of the quince pieces I'm looking forward to wearing is a merino wool t-shirt that should be a perfect base layer for an afternoon hike. I also ordered a soft-shell fleece-lined vest, so if the temperature dips during an evening out to dinner afterward, I can easily add a layer. Everything from quince is like half the cost of a comparable piece from some other brand.

Julia's eyes were glued to the ground, scanning for any sign of Eric.

The helicopter was crossing terrain in a matter of minutes that it would take hours or days to travel on foot. The interior of the Uinta Range is devoid of roads. It's a swath of wild land owned and managed by the federal government as a national forest.

The wildness of the place brought up all kinds of fears. Maybe a tree had fallen on Eric. Maybe he had been attacked by a wild animal. Julia even wondered...
