Well, keep in mind back at Columbia Airfield Taggart had to wrestle and bayonet a rotter that night before (by the pond). So there's a few corpses there to trip over.

[i]Columbia Airfield is also a 10 mile walk.[/i]

During the time of AnnaBeth's post, Taggart was encamped in the old feed-mill, which generally occurred 24 hours before the main stream of events in the RP.
