Explanation:

Mr. McCoy keeps using a map while hiking and is confused about passing the same tree, suggesting he's unsure of his path, indicating he might be lost. The other option (knowing a lot about hiking) isn't supported as getting confused about the route doesn't show expertise.

Mr. McCoy is lost in the forest.
