While most Americans are now up to date minute by minute with the travails of South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford’s affair with his South American mistress, famed outdoorsman Mark Trail has not been heard from since he left for an assignment over a week ago to meet Sanford and escort him along the Appalachian Trail. Favoring his utility knife in place of a cell phone, Mark Trail is assumed to be looking for traces of the now-infamous governor, whom he was supposed to meet at a designated point along the rambling mountainous route.

Satellite sightings of the intrepid outdoorsman have so far proved unsuccessful, and Homeland Security searches likewise have not been effective. However, Mark’s wife Cherry will send out his beloved dog Andy tomorrow.
