14. Well, I just pulled my house up off of Google Earth...


That is just not nearly the full total of the woods surrounding me. A former coworker of mine actually had to be rescued from Split Rock last weekend. They decided to go off-trail with no maps, compass anything. They left at 2pm and intended to hike about 3 miles. Finally, around 7:30pm they decided to call for help (amazingly their phones worked). Apparently, the cops located them fast with the phone's GPS, but they had gotten themselves into such bad terrain that it took the town's ATV police squad another three hours to get to them. I found this pretty amusing though, because none of the people in the group are the sharpest crayons in the box by any means and she was a bitch to work with. Also, prior to reading about it in the newspaper, I didn't even know the police department here had an ATV squad.
