The Week contest: Wanderlust
Last week's question: Two California hikers on their first date became so enraptured by their conversation that they wandered deep into Angeles National forest and became lost, and had to be airlifted to safety. If Hollywood were to make a romantic comedy about the pair's wild first date, what should the movie be titled?
