[QUOTE="Ponyroper, post: 228565, member: 423"] I've gotten turned around a few times when doing land inspections in the badlands especially when it's overcast and I can't see the sun like yesterday. I was in some rough stuff yesterday north of Dunn Center and got totally twisted around when the trail I was on petered out. I had a handheld GPS unit but couldn't figure out which was north or south so couldn't find my site. Seemed like every direction I went was wrong. It started to rain before I figured out where to go and you best not be in that country when those gumbo hills get wet so I packed up and started back. Trouble was I couldn't find my trail coming in again and the hair on the back of my neck was starting to stand up before I finally recognized a cow trail I crossed coming in. I just made it back up to an oil well road before it started pouring. Would have been a loooooong hike out to the well pads if I would have stayed back in those ravines another 15 minutes and it might have been days before it was dry enough to go back in to get the pickup. I'm a flatland born guy and those spots get me very nervous. [/QUOTE]
