Got lost in woods!+

[cjcouple]

Not even a little joking. I took the boys hiking. And everything was going normally, we were following the blue trail and decided to rest, get water and turn back. I have no idea what happened but we ended up on Yellow somehow. Well I decided to see if maybe it collided with blue eventually. Instead it ended. So we turned around again and ended up OFF trail. I was starting to panick and turned back a 3rd time. I did find yellow and followed the opposite way as before. Finally we spotted the blue but i am not even joking when I say i was about to call 911. I even called dh to see if anyone at work knew the area. My gps would not recognize where we were either. We were out there over an hour and a half total!!! (30 mins lost) I later found out, loggers started clearing the area so that is why the trails disappeared. Thankfully, my boys had no idea how lost we were and were fine. Such a scary thing

Omg, sheesh - that is scary! We got "slightly" lost on a trail near our house with DS last summer. Even though we knew we couldn't be "too" lost since the woods is entirely within the city, I still started getting freaked out because of having DS with us. We ended up hiking for 1.5 hrs total with no water or anything, and he was only 3 at the time.

Glad you guys made it out safely!

I kept thinking at least I know I am on yellow now if I have to call 911. So glad it hit the blue though. Ds2 was like "yes!! Can we get ice cream now??"

I said absolutely and bought them 2 scoop waffle cones. Haha.

I'd say that was well-deserved! I hope you got one for yourself too; I think you deserved one the most! Unless you're having a stiff drink instead...

Actually, I just got a regular 1 scoop. It was amazing though. Orange pineapple ice cream. Soooo good.

That is so scary! Glad it worked out! I always wonder how I would handle something like that as a mother. Yikes.

Glad you found your way back! So scary!

Wow, that is scary! You must have been SOOOO Relieved when you found your way back.

[cjcouple]

nicolewi, I was so relieved. I now have 3 lovely humongous scratches across my inner calf that are currently killing me. I dont think I will be venturing out anytime soon.

I've done the same thing too. Logically I knew we were fine, and would find our way out, but it is still very scary.
