Judy tethers herself so she doesn't get lost in the snow while looking for Beef and has Ham and Moon stay behind and hold the rope. Unfortunately, they follow her instead, making the rope useless. Moon had the rope tied to the barbecue grill, which they had unwittingly dragged along, leaving them lost.
