A few years ago on a beautiful September day I set off to Acadia to take a hike. I chose a trail I had hiked many times and looked forward to a nice two hour hike followed by a cold one at Lompoc Café!. But somewhere along the way things went terribly wrong. Evidently I “zigged” when I should have “zagged” and before I knew it I was lost. I didn’t panic. There were people around and it was mid afternoon – plenty of daylight left. But one bad decision led to the next and rather than asking for directions or grabbing a map I thought my keen sense of direction would lead me in the right direction. Not so much!
