It's gonna sound like I'm bitching but I'm not bitching.
I don't read maps, I have no sense of direction, and I can't figure out GPS stuff.
Well, I could but I'm too fucking lazy.
So I just follow.
And on this day, I did a bunch of following.... mostly the wrong way.
We walked all over everywhere for five hours looking for Upper Calf Creek falls in 100 degree heat so's we could go swimming. This was supposed to be an easy day cos we had been traveling and drinking the previous day. One and a half miles. Easy.
If, and only if, you leave from the appropriate trail head. We did not. We stopped at the trail head to nowhere. And nowhere is where we ended up....for five hours.
After finally admitting defeat and moving on... a mile down the road, we finally found the marked trail head.
Twenty minutes later we are splashing around in the pool beneath Upper Calf Creek.
Oh well, adversity makes the reward all the more satisfying.
Right?
