Tell us a story! A couple summers ago I was hiking with my boyfriend, and before we got to the trail head our phones lost service because we were deep in the mountains. So we had to guess where the trail head was. Basically, we ended up hiking up the wrong mountain, on the wrong trail, ran out of water and food at the top of the mountain. Realized it was six miles back down the mountain to the car. And a hike that was only suppose to be five miles turned into 12 on a 95 degree day. Thankfully, we had more water in the car, so we chugged that when we got back. But it was wild because it was bear and mountain lion country, too, and we were the only ones on this trail.
