## Rules questions

### Can I move to a Site that already has another player's hiker without using anything special?

No — a Site occupied by any Hiker cannot be visited unless you use your Campfire by flipping it; if your Campfire is already extinguished you cannot share occupied Sites until it relights when one of your Hikers reaches Trail End. (p.4, p.6)

### Can I land on a Site just to pass through without taking its action?

No — to visit a Site you must be able to take that Site’s action, so you cannot land there if you cannot perform its action. (p.4, p.9)

### Can I fill a Canteen using Water I collected on a previous turn?

No — a Canteen can only be filled with a Water token gained on that same turn; you cannot use previously collected Water to fill Canteens. (p.6, p.9)

### If I land on a Site with a Weather token, can I use that token immediately toward the Site's action or other costs?

Yes — the first Hiker to land on a Site with a Weather token takes that token immediately into their supply and it can be used toward the Site’s action (and toward Season effects). (p.4, p.9)

### If I use the River to copy another Site's action, does that count as actually visiting the copied Site for gear or card triggers?

No — the River lets you copy another Site’s action but does not count as visiting that Site directly (however, tokens gained via the River still benefit from Season effects). (p.5, p.9)

### Do Photos cost fewer tokens if I have the Camera, and what happens with the Camera at season end?

When you have the Camera, taking a Photo costs 1 token instead of 2, and at the Season’s end the player holding the Camera may take a Photo at the reduced price. (p.6)
