Jim told me this story a couple of week ago and I instantly thought GPS and not ALONE!! It is not fun to find your self LOST!! Jim showed great presence of mind and did not go into a full panic mode which would have made it worse.
On a lighter note, we may have found a use for the 6 miles of yellow cheneille ohiotuber has. It would make great trail markers.
I think Jim's story will be heard around the campfire early in the week. A good scary story and a campfire just go togather. All you have to do is work in a rattlesnake, a black bear and the cougar.
I'm glad you posted your adventure to warn other's of the dangers of "Going off by "One's Self". From now on I will respectfully call you "Path Finder".
