Last year pop's and I went out to a new area neither one of us were familiar with but I figured my good sense of direction would help. It was a monday (I take my vacation during deer/elk season) ... And was raining so hard,I was already bout 1 1/2 miles or so from base camp,and went down a trail I had been down a few times already....
Long story short some thunder and lightning came in so I headed back and a couple of tree's had fallin so I ended up a bit frazzled and wandering off and a couple hours later,completely soaked,tired and cold I found my way back to my temporary home..... No matter what I loved every second of it!
