They are in Shelter 4 at Daisy Farm with plastic in front of the screen waitng for the Spring thaw.

I'm surprised you didn't see them doing the happy dance. And, if you use the special listening devices, you'll hear them singing show tunes.

I KNEW it. They had to be hiding SOMEWHERE! Maybe we can bribe Rolf to cross the harbor and bug bomb Shelter 4?? He could sneak up after they've spent the night partying...

PS: Remind me to never hike with a gal named Mary... she'd be a goner.
