Sometimes getting lost can be the best.
Today I was lazy and didn't check my maps as often as I should have. I found myself about 4 miles off the PCT on the Bryan Meadow Trail (?). I wasn't worried because I didn't need to go into South Lake Tahoe for re-supply until tomorrow so I had plenty of time and I could hear the traffic on Highway 50 so I knew I was close anyway.
I happened upon the Sierra At Tahoe ski resort. They were closed up tight but the water was still running and they had picnic tables so I figured I'd chill here tonight and hitch into SLT in the morning.
I met this happy hunter and he invited me back to his cabin for beer and brats! He had lived in Germany and when I told him that I had been stationed there in the Army, we had great conversation, great food and good times. Here's to getting lost!
Know what's ironic? The night you met the nice hunter, I was home cooking brats in SIerra Nevada beer. Seriously.
