There is an aspen grove that was blogged about off of 38 that I wanted to see. It was out of our way and our maps were at the "beach house." Instead we took a nice walk in our local woods at the end of Yosemite. Fall color was waning but there was enough for me to take a bunch of pictures. My SO and Guinness walked ahead and I was to meet them. There's only one road/trail. By the time I had finished messing with my camera they were out of sight, which didn't worry me because, there's only one way to go, until you get to the fork in the road. I went the way they didn't and wound up by the water tower that I thought they were walking to then started back after calling my SO and telling him what I was doing. He didn't have his phone on him. grrrr.
Long story short I walked waaaay too far and missed the little trail back to the street, which doesn't look like a trail at all. I knew I had walked too far when I could see Sugarloaf. At that point I tried my GPS which told me I was not close enough to a road to enable the GPS. Got some nice pictures though. My SO called me after he had gone home to get his phone and I turned around and walked back. I will not be so oblivious to landmarks in the future.
So we both got more excercise than we bargained for. Just think I almost walked to Big Bear City from Moonridge! It would be fun if I'd planned on it, and had a map maybe.
