Trails and tribulations
The buddy system has always been recommended for swimmers. Maybe it's time to utilize a buddy system for folks who go mountain biking in rugged areas like Nisene Marks State Park. It's understandable that one man who got lost wanted to duck publicity, but I hope park personnel at least got the details of what led to his mishap so that they can make sure all trails are clearly marked.
It's good to know that the story came with a happy ending and that the man is safely back at home. I'd venture to guess that his wife will get him a GPS device before his next trip into the woods. I wonder if OnStar has any plans to equip mountain bikes with its technology?
I must say that if you're going to get lost while mountain biking, Nisene Parks is a magnificent place to do so.
