On the Cabin Porch

The handle of the door turns, but the cabin is locked. A few more leaves scuttle across the porch as you stand there. It feels cooler now that you are no longer actively paddling

You think about your next step, The cabin is too well built to force your way through the door and the shutters are closed from the inside. You need to find a key if you are going to get in.

The key isn't here. To find it, you'll need to go west along the shore or going east instead. Of course there's always the option to get back into the canoe, forgetting the whole foolish thing.
