I posted this in another thread and got some feedback. I don't mean to hijack, but route 3 sounds exactly perfect for what the character in my story might encounter. Anyway, here's the logline.
Four Wheeling often with friends and family on weekends and holidays, loving camping and pitting himself against nature, a young man decides to venture himself deep into the wooded forest. His original goal was to get from point A to point B, but when a natural disaster strikes, the young man is forced to use everything he knows, every piece of advice he learned to save both himself, and salvage everything he can from the vehicle. We follow the young man through his journey and struggle.
His trusty jeep gets engulfed in a mudslide and he's forced to abandon it and travel on foot.
Route 3 sounds really bad ass to me.
