After work last night I came home and ate dinner, it was delicious. Then I went on a walk with Diana. We decided to take a walk along the green belt in Northern Davis, we’ve walked there before, it is very nice, calm and cool at night. So we parked close to my old place (on Isla) and started walking. We paid no attention whatsoever while we walked. We were just enjoying the sights, our conversation, and the company of each other. We took about a half hour walk and then decided to head back to the car, in a round about way. In short, we got lost! For the record this isn’t the first time we’ve been lost in the Green belt, every time we go we get turned around. We came out on Anderson, but didn’t realize we had crossed under it earlier, so we took a right when we should have taken a left. We walked to the end of Anderson, stood there a while trying to figure out where we were and how we got there, turned around and eventually found our way back to the car…
This is a bad sign, as Diana said, “We’re not going hiking or camping unless we have topographical maps, compasses and can orient ourselves correctly.” Getting lost in our own town is one thing, getting lost in the wilderness is another! What is sad though is that I like to think that I know where the cardinal points are, that I have a good sense of direction, but everything around me tells me that isn’t the case! Oh, well, good thing we have maps!
We just need to learn a bit more about the stars and the moon’s track. And then only go hiking at night…
