Christine and Kyle read Lost in the Jungle by Yossi Ghinsberg which chronicles the time that Ghinsberg........got lost in the jungle. In 1981 he and three other backpackers tromped into the Amazon jungle of Bolivia hoping to make contact with a legendary indigenous village and strike it rich by finding a mother lode of gold. They were armed with a shot gun, machete and the hubris of youth, but things quickly turned from an adventure to survival when the group split up and divided their resources.
