[quote=Anonymous]years ago (pre smart phones) I decided to do a short day hike in point reyes . It was early feb, mid week, and I was alone. I somehow missed the trail back to my car. when I figured it out via the grubby trail map I had printed out, it was already getting dark. I doubled back but didn't make it back to my car before complete nightfall and saw no one else on the trail. I knew enough not to try to make my way in the dark (narrow trails, cliffs, etc) and spent a chilly, and eventually very rainy night out in the cold, moving around to stay warm and building a semi shelter with tree branches. By dawn I found my way to my car--I was probably only 1/2 mile away! Since then I've always tried to prepare for the 'what its' even on day hikes...flashlight, waterproof jacket, food, cell phone, and leave my eta with someone and tell them if I'm not back by X time and not answering a text to get worried---stuff happens, even to experienced hikers. I don't know what happened to this family, but it was a hard long hike on a super hot day. [/quote]
