HANEUL arrived at the rest area he'd been assigned to. There were a few benches under a large roof, some vending machines along the wall, and a water fountain at the far end. A couple of people sat on the benches, drinking water and checking their phones. A few others stood near the trailhead, looking at a large map posted on a wooden board. Beyond them, the path stretched up into the trees.
He looked around for anyone who might have been given a clue for their team's next destination. His gaze landed on a man in a park ranger uniform. He stood near the base of the trail, talking to a group of tourists. The program team would definitely not give their next clue to a tourist who wouldn't stay in one place. It would most likely be given to a local, like the owner of that rice cake shop. So, he walked towards the man in a park ranger uniform.
He waited until the group of tourists wandered off before stepping closer. "Excuse me, sir?"
