I have not told this story before and wasnt going to but this thread was a perfect opportunity. I did have a similar experience just last month when I got lost. I was riding along this trail and it ended into the backyard of somebodys house. I shut the snowmobile off just as this lady came out her back door. She asked if I was lost and I had no other choice but to say yes. She told me to come inside to warm up. I told her the whole story of how I tried to take a short cut but ended up way out of my way. She was very understanding. Turns out her husband gets turned around quite often and will not ask for directions. We sat around her kitchen table just making small talk when she said maybe I should take a hot bath to help warm myself. I could not resist. Next thing I knew she lead me into her bathroom. She shut and locked the door behind her. As the tub was filling with water there was a knock at the door. I looked at her with this surprised look on my face (can you imagine what I was thinking). All of a sudden I hear this tiny voice saying Dad how long were you lost for? I said only a couple hours hun now get back to bed. Then my wife went and tucked my daughter back in bed. Boy was I glad to be home.
