Have you ever been lost in the wilderness?

One time my friend and I went deep into the woods where the trees are awesome and it's untouched. Somehow we made out way back out by the position of the sun (rises in the east, sets in the west).

Just once. Back in the days before cell phones, for some unknown reason my ex and I did something we never did before -- we took a chance on going for a walk on a dark forest path without a trail map . Of course, the trail forked several times, and we ended up walking around and around in circles, getting hangrier and more confused and more tired by the minute. We tried finding our way back by using the compass to guess which fork to take, but that didn't work either. Just as we were about to begin yelling for help, we accidentally came upon the right path back to the parking lot.

Every time I watch the Blair Witch Project, I think of that crazy hike in the CT woods. 😄
