[Mara Factor]

If you ever plan to do a two hiker plan, instead of planning on passing keys
along the way, each should have their own key or a key should be hidden on
the car in a place both hikers know about.  That way, if for some reason you
don't see each other along the trail (one goes off to dig a hole, stops at a
blue blazed spring, etc.), the other person doesn't get stuck at the car
without a key.
