I agree, wind and lightening all of a sudden, is worse than kitties, should have mentioned em. Good on ya. [
] If you're on a big reservoir, like Flaming Gorge, W. side (West winds predominate) you could be swept to the east side and then what? That's a long, long ways back to the West side. Thumb a ride?, etc. and maybe get back to camp in the am, if you can find a way back to your remote location, if ever? Scary!!!!!! Would probably ask for "ranger" help. They've already rescued me once when I had a dead battery and a dieing cell phone. [shocked] Really love those guys. Koodoos, koodoos, thanks guys !! Hopefully this will get back tithe Wyo. rangers as a credit even though it's been a while.!!!They were able to find me in a very remote location at the Confluence. So far, I've been able to see the warning signs in enough time. [:/]
