(Part 1 of the adventure can be found here)

Dave Pidgeon is a news reporter, freelance travel writer, advid hiker, scratch golfer and excellent tipper.  He also happens to be my best friend.  He and his bride Alison just got back from honeymooning in Costa Rica, and the first in a series of highly entertaining hiking/adventure stories has been posted on his blog, Compass Points.
