Lost

We were seriously lost when I took this photo while walking through what seemed like an never ending maze of trails and trees .  My husband was about a mile ahead of me..and getting eaten alive by hungry mosquitos that apparently hadn’t seen a human for a long time. We were not too far from a campground and  it was not clear to us how to get to the beach so we made a decision to follow a trail that led us to a short nightmare..I can laugh about it now, but was not funny at the time. I had my camera but I was not in the mood for taking pictures until I saw this deer when I looked up from swatting the little varmints away from my face. It was probably wondering what in the world was I doing?  I did have on a hoodie so it helped somewhat. It started getting dark and the trees were creaking and I was getting freaked out… At first we tried to put the blame on the lack of  proper trail markers but I do think it was an error on our part.  We estimated that we had been there for at least two hours . It was not the first time we had been lost… I think it is time to invest in a little technology to take with us on our adventures.. (:
