Lost!

The Hike! I’m writing this after the fact. But the plain truth is that the Ingalls Family Highlander group got LOST!

We hiked for hours and came to a crossroad where we lost our signs and trail markers. We decided to go left, which was seemingly all right, but was wrong. We ate lunch and headed out with different couples to find the right way.

Dan and I went off and found what we thought was the trail, but when we all got there, we found out the trail ended very abruptly. We all wandered aimlessly for about an hour, then decided to go back to where we had lunch and go beyond that point to try and find a trail.

After about a mile and a half, we decided that wasn’t the right way, either. So  next, we stopped to pray, asking the Lord for strength, wisdom, and guidance. At that point, we voted to turn around to try the other road. So we went all the way back to the crossroad, and walked down the other path about two miles until the road just ended.

Now what were we supposed to do? We were so tired, and desperately needed water. The map was no help to us. It was getting late in the day and we were in need of rest.
