Meet Nelson Anderson
Nelson Anderson, a 42-year-old software engineer, has joined some friends from work on a camping trip bicycling through the Arizona desert. Nelson has been very busy at work this year, and never did get around to working out in preparation for the trip. At one point, he finds himself lagging behind the group and takes a wrong turn. Lost and alone in the heat of the day, he ran out of water hours ago. Now he is perspiring heavily and getting very thirsty.
