Good post and should be a reminder to all of us to let someone know where you are going. There was a guy here that had been drinking a few years back and bumped his head. He went to the OR and wouldn't let them admit him. So he took off to his camp with a few bottles of booze with him. He took a wrong turn on a dead end road and became stuck. Then he went walking and became lost and disorienated. A large grid search was done for about 2 weeks as he was a state trooper from another state. He was not found until late in deer season. A friend of mine found him and stated it was more than anyone would ever come across. He got lost in early summer and was planning on painting his camp.
So it's a good idea to let someone know where you are headed in any event when going out in the great outdoors. Whether fishing, hiking, hunting, or whatever your enjoyment is. I normally say whereI am heading as well as which wayIam traveling to get there. As up here I do not always make it to my destination due to the fact it's a long ways to be heading and you should of seen that big buck that stepped out in front of me.. That can change my plan without notice so the direction of travel for me is important as well. With all those back woods roads it gives someone a direction to start in if something did happen..
