    One beautiful morning recently while visiting our family cabin in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, my daughter and I decided to take a short hike on one of the nearby trails. We started out right after breakfast on the Hubbard Brook Trail in Warren. At about midpoint, we decided to hike the entire trail, figuring that it would come out near the “downtown” area of Warren. Mind you, we were not prepared with food, drink, map or compass. At the end of the 3-mile trail, we set out ton a logging road, figuring we would come to a town road immediately. After hiking another hour, we met a USFS ranger, who advised us that we had another 3 miles of logging road, and would end up in Thornton (45 minutes by car from Warren), MILES from where we expected to be. The easiest way back? The way we came! The trails were reasonably dry, we saw many beavers and had a wonderful time – but I thought of you and your admonitions to prepare well for each and every adventure outdoors.
