Has this ever happpened to you?
In your efforts to justify a plan you have been developing for months, in your head, you spend hours writing out details for a four-week-long back country trip. All of it on stained napkins (they are not waterproof but they pack down well) found at the bottom of your pack. Five topo maps are open on the floor and aligned neatly across two of three bays in the garage. You print the emergency family, closest hospital ER, and what you think are back country ranger district contact numbers, in the upper right corner of the main topo map. When you look closer, you realize one of the numbers is that of an old college flame (last heard she was following some rock band across Europe). You decide to keep the number in the event you become lonely and desperate. Then add the following in bold letters, "Do not call this number for a minimum of 30 days from the date this note is found," it's definitely time to go hiking.
