how often can you get lost in the same place?

Lazarus: I've also gotten turned around on the trail in Connecticut -- later couldn't figure how the heck it happened. It was near the small "lemon squeeze" in the vicinity of Pine Swamp Lean-To. Where did you get turned around?

Senility is never pretty.

But at least you can hide your own Easter eggs and still enjoy the challenge of the hunt.

does this happen to you, too? there's a section of the CT AT that I've hiked twice recently, and each time I've come to a roughly 150 degree switchback on level ground, wandered past the switchback point on some rocks, realized i'd missed the switchback, turned around... and not been able to tell which trail i came on. Fine the first time, but the second time i felt like an idiot. i'll try again tomorrow and see if i can go for three! got my record beat already?

Aren't you the guy who told me there were no hills in CT?

And encouraged me to hike in NY during a blizzard?

Around Joshua Tree Natl Park it is all sand and dessert; there are many places where you find multiple trials converging....very easy to get lost if you have not been 'looking up' for a mountain marker. It used to scare my sweetie until she came to trust my judgement. We bushwacked a lot to get to places then and it always worked out.

pretty sure that was some other risen from the dead guy.

for me it was on Schaghticoke mountain, north of the Ten Mile River Shelter. Just silly, i think.

If you ever get back down my way we'll have to hit some of these gentle southern balds together!
