The Story:



You, Sam, and Dean have just pulled the Impala into the motel parking lot. You’ve just started work on a case - looks to be a standard-issue haunting.



As you get out of the car, you see Castiel has stopped by to visit. He’s waiting in the parking lot, leaning up against a beat-up Ford Taurus. You don’t recall seeing that car before. Bought? Stolen? You’re not sure, and can’t bring yourself to care. Your standard for “normal” has shifted dramatically over the last couple of months.



While Dean and Castiel are chatting, you hear a beep from Sam’s jeans pocket. “Whoa,” says Sam, tapping his phone. “Looks like three men have gone missing in the last two weeks. Pine Lake, Minnesota.”

“Great. Sounds pretty normal. Nothing to do with us,” replies Dean, clearly irritated by the interruption.



“Well. The last guy to go missing? A forest ranger saw him in the forest making out with…get this…a tree.”

Dean stops in his tracks and raises an eyebrow. “A tree.”

“Yeah.” Sam pauses. “Never heard of anything like that before.”

Dean slams the trunk of the Impala shut. “Doesn’t matter. We just started this case. We don’t have time to look into a couple of missing weirdoes with a thing for maple syrup.”

Sam shrugs. “You’re right. But…you know who can work on it.”

Dean looks at you. “Seriously? Send Y/N on a case? Alone?”

“I can manage,” you say. “Just send somebody with me. Cas, maybe?”

Dean cocks his head, then nods. “All right. Y/N, get your gear and load up the car. Cas will drive you there and help you with the case. We’ll wrap this up and meet you in Pine Lake as soon as we can.”

The Challenge:

Time to load up the car! Do two sets of 12 squats to lift your baggage and hunter gear into the trunk. If you want an additional challenge, pick up something heavy while you do the squats! Here’s an example of someone doing this, called a “goblet squat” if you use a dumbbell: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PKmrXTx6jZs
