While hunting Blue Quail by myself in the Carlsbad, New Mexico area I got lost one late afternoon.
I had a new GPS but hadn't bothered to learn very much about it. When I first realized I was lost I could just barely read the screen because I had forgotten my reading glasses. After it got dark I couldn't read it at all because I was without glasses AND without a flashlight. I didn't know how to turn the backlight on and if I did I probably couldn't do it because I couldn't read the screen without my glasses.
After three of hours of stumbling around in the dark I found the right ridge, then the right fence, then the right road and then the right truck.
Sure did feel stupid.
Best,
Mike
