After a particularly busy harvest season, Jack longed for a rest. So when his brother Jordan suggested that he come rejuvenate himself in Jordan's quiet Ann Arbor cabin, Jack jumped at the opportunity.

Jack began his trek to the cabin at Argo Canoe Livery. He headed into the woods on the trail where two-wheeled creatures and unrestrained rovers were not welcome. Since Jack was a rather ghoulish guy, he roamed down the pleasant path with some trepidation until on his left he saw and took comfort in a gigantic growth that only could have originated in Hades herself: a massive wooden hand reaching out from the ground with a palm large enough to swallow one whole. Taking heart, he continued on his path. Soon he saw the first sign of Jordan's handiwork, which was a giant metallic frisbee made in Jordan's ironworks factory out east. He knew he was on the right path, and his assumption was confirmed after he spotted a second metallic frisbee amongst some mysterious symbols reading, "3005, 3006, 3008, 3009." After walking a bit further down the trail, he nearly tripped over a third product from Jordan's factory. At this point, he noticed that he had plunged deeper into the woods, as the road symbolizing civilization was now out of view. When he saw a stone barrier at the top of a steep hill on his right, he knew there was no way out but forward.

So he continued. He passed a forth frisbee. Soon he noticed an accidental, circular wooden dock projecting into the river, but he decided to pass and continued on, while also noting a fifth frisbee carelessly left near the dock and the river. A sixth frisbee then appeared beneath the markings 3024 and 3025. A little further and a seventh frisbee was spotted a little more hidden down the near the river. Up ahead an eight frisbee was laying near the river bank, and Jack jaunted down a dip in the path. When a ninth frisbee greeted Jack in the middle of his path, he knew he was close to the arborous cabin. Short ahead, he spotted a V in the path, and as always in life, Jack took the high road.

As he saw the light at the end of the trail, he became to feel very weary and longed for the comfort of Jordan's cabin. On his right, he saw a tree calling him to rest with a trunk that looked Very inViting. As he contemplated a slumber here, he looked ahead to another massive arborous shelter that he just had to explore. He drew closer and examined an old, weatherbeaten sign nailed to this shelter. When squinting, he thought he could make out the words, "Jordan's Abode." Jack walked around the base of this arborous shelter and looked toward the river. Only one stride away was a stump that revealed a cluster of long ago shelterous trees. And it was here that Jack ended his journey and settled down for some much needed R and R.
