 Story:

Uh oh!.  Looks like you鈥檙e stranded, and you鈥檝e only got 5 minutes before your favorite radio program starts on WSU鈥檚 89.1 KMUW!  Luckily there鈥檚 some radio transceiver equipment nearby. If you can get it across the river and set up in the clearings, you鈥檒l get to sit back and listen to your favorite show.  To cross the river, there鈥檚 a bridge and some stepping stones.  The stones might be easier to get to than the bridge, but they鈥檙e not raised and you run the risk of getting your equipment wet.  In the clearing, there are some hills to set the equipment on.  You can put your equipment on the ground, but the signal will be a lot better up on the rocks.
