[pct-l] Old Timers....getting lost & forgetfulness

[Reinhold Metzger]

One of my hiking buddies, a big, burly, macho Vietnam era Army Ranger has a tendency
to go in the wrong direction.
One day, when he was not looking, I put a tag on his pack.

HIS  NAME  IS  DENNIS
If found return to San Diego
We will pay the freight.

He was not very happy when he finally saw the tag

When I was really tired I'd lay my pole pointing north up trail as I did
find myself once with Smiles in the Marbles heading off in the wrong
direction.
She laughed and corrected me.
That's OK, as I had corrected her toward Mather Pass in deep snow when
other forces wanted to hike due west.
It seemed we needed each other, and I needed that arrow.

   Heh...I'll sit down for lunch then get up and can't remember which way
I'm hiking on the trail...I need to carry an arrow I put on the trail
saying,"this way to Canada."
