Oh, now I understand. Mark and Buzz needed two boats because they're going to try to trick the Parkers. Buzz gets to be the sacrificial lamb while Mark gets to sneak around the forbidden camp and see what he can see. I guess that makes sense. I guess. What doesn't is how a simple life preserver is going to conceal Buzz's true identity as a ranger. Wouldn't he have some sort of patch or something on his sleeve? (Who knows, maybe he's not that good of a ranger, or maybe the patches were taken away in the cutbacks.) Someone should really get him one of those fisherman's caps with all of the lures and brick-a-brac on it, and tell him not to paddle too well. That would give him away too easily.
The plan set in motion, Mark sneaks through the forest toward the Parker camp, apparently going for a kicky new summer do by rearranging his spit curl and trying out a dangly earring. Not your best look, my friend. Try something else. (Like maybe a less unfortunate placement of The Jack Elrod Ball.) As he finally reaches the camp, Buzz reaches the Parker side of the lake (as designated by the wavy line drawn in the sand), and starts to fish. This just might work. Of course, if the Parkers show up and see that Buzz is fishing without any bait, or if he starts speaking in ranger lingo, then someone will have to swim home.
Seeing the poor man in the canoe, the Parkers jump into their speed boat and head over to cause some trouble and throw their weight around (or cause the little vessel to capsize, or maybe just ram him and sink the canoe while they laugh and rev the engines). Mark, meanwhile, creeps around the Parker cabins, coming upon a nondescript tool shed that suddenly becomes very, very interesting when he notices the door (and probably the hum of the engines keeping the food cold) and decides that now is the time to investigate, if only Buzz can give him enough time.
