Can cause a bit of panic to set in!<br />We are making good use of the GPS/trail map phone app. Has saved us a couple times so far. But then you like to live on the edge:)Jim and Gaylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13982110996137470496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4134981800236544647.post-36708511069160988512013-06-08T07:07:45.403-06:002013-06-08T07:07:45.403-06:00I literally laughed out loud at "connection e...I literally laughed out loud at "connection erection."

Even confined spaces can look VERY different when turning around to exit. <br /><br />The other valuable lesson I learned the hard way..."Don't lead others into uncertainty"...Which is why I don't like to lead, because I am usually uncertain. ;-)Suzannehttp://www.taketothehighway.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4134981800236544647.post-86927407210367687572013-06-07T20:06:20.456-06:002013-06-07T20:06:20.456-06:00I was feeling your concern as I read.

I figure I'm heading out one way then just turn around and remember the way back. The trail branches to left and right, I usually go right. Then the trail branches right and left again, I'll go left. I get distracted and take a side trail to a lake, then head back to the main trail that branches again. Now, I turn around for the hike back. Was that right or left at the first branch? It looks so different. I start searching for my out bound shoe tracks,<br />I promise myself to take a trail map next time. Great photos. Thanks for sharing.<br />John QJohn Qhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17898180689507479092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4134981800236544647.post-29804089330834342062013-06-07T12:16:47.929-06:002013-06-07T12:16:47.929-06:00Wow!

Moab is definitely on the list of shoulder-seasom only. Still is gorgeous though. -Susan W.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
