Back when I was in school, we had a saying regarding field trips, that "20% losses are not unusual" with regards of kids just ending up on the wrong bus or something. Ah, they'll turn up again eventually!

That tarp deployment had the same general vibe.

(I got lost just once, walking ahead with another boy because the rest of the class was just too damn slow on the way to ... wherever. We turned left where the others then turned right. Joke was on us, because "left" was a 5-mile detour. )
