Tell about a time when you get lost?

There were the usual summer scout camps that I went on each year and really loved them but the second one was not so great to start out with. I was hiking in typical scout fashion with a couple of other scouts. We were not at the back of the group but rather at the front and by quite a distance until we took the wrong fork of the trail and then a second wrong fork and found ourselves on the far side of Betsy lake when we were suppose to be going to Palisade lake. It started to rain real heavy so we got under the shelter of a huge rock and then began backtracking to find the fork that we had missed. We ended up finding a second trail that led to Palisade lake and it was a lot shorter than if we had gone back to the first one but we didn’t know that until we had actually reached the lake and were there ahead of a lot of the troop even then. So even though we were basically lost we were also very blessed to have been able to find the way to the lake. I still to this day do not know which trail we ended up on that day and have never found it again but will always be thankful for a loving Father in Heaven that knew where it was and led us on it that day.
