The only thing that would have made this wilder would have been a mountain lion or an earthquake! But you have one thing wrong in here - you only gave yourself credit for 8 miles. This counts for a lot more - how about 8 miles and 2 of your 9 lives! A noble and brave fight I tell you!<br /><br />(Now the funny thing is, twice in the last two days I too have gone sailing past planned turns. The recovery on known paved roads was admittedly a lot easier!)Gary Cattarinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16342528564545284793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5791692547710240011.post-36458295903449147942012-09-22T12:50:41.453-07:002012-09-22T12:50:41.453-07:00Brutal to see these posts but glad you made it thr...Brutal to see these posts but glad you made it through. I have a HUGE phobia of getting lost on trails. A bit battered but you're able to tell your story and it's a learning experience for you and your readers. Thanks for sharing.

I'll get a photo for you when I'm up there this weekend. The issue is that the damn mountain bikers have also created their own single tracks back there. It sounds (and looks) like you got on one of those that dropped you into Emerald Canyon beyond where the trail is (now) closed. Still a great adventure!Glenn Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05119271602749821767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5791692547710240011.post-77250676654141792182012-09-21T06:33:35.240-07:002012-09-21T06:33:35.240-07:00I have strict rules as well but somehow I often ge...I have strict rules as well but somehow I often get myself not following them.

I sometimes pick a game trail or just go cross country out of curiosity and the results are often less than ideal. Kudos for toughing it out and finding your way!
