I believe that is the plan and solution.
Yep-things usually look better in the morning. As one who has been stuck many times over the years, the number one thing to do is not panic, especially with all the gear they have, heck -as long as you have food and water (and beer) and you at not in immediate danger , just sit back and do what do today's military say "embrace the suck" and see what happens next ! As to Riley my bet is on the dog!
