Chapter 11 Notes Downriver by Will Hobbs

How does the group react to Al’s reappearance? How does Al react to them and what information does he give them? Primarily with sarcasm Al says that he’s rowing through the next rapid. He cautions them to ration food since they are only 1/3 of the way down the canyon. He is dismayed to find they have not been using a mile-by-mile guide. He says that Heather told him where they were.

How does Adam attempt to trick Al? What does Al tell Adam? He hands him a box containing a scorpion. Al tells him it is a slender scorpion, the only deadly scorpion of six varieties in the canyon.

What does the group discuss privately and what is the outcome of the discussion? They discuss what to do about Al. Troy wants to leave him; Freddy thinks they may need him. Troy backs down, saying they can ditch him later.
