Getting dangerously lost was really not possible. That huge comms tower was
always somewhere within view. So while I had my bearings I couldn't quite
find the trails I needed to get back to where I wanted to be.
Someone once asked Danial Boone if he'd ever been lost and his answer was
something like "no, but I was a might confused as to where I was for a few
weeks". Now THAT'S lost.
Can't wait to get back and do it again. I'll check out that pub as well.
