How a confused moose made me rethink my route planning

I always thought my GPS was perfect for picking backpacking trails. Then I followed it to a dead end where a moose was blocking the way. It just stood there, chewing leaves and staring at me like I was the intruder. I had to hike back three miles in the dark, which was both scary and silly. Now I double-check my path with a paper map before I go. That moose taught me that nature has its own plans. I laugh about it now, but I won't make that mistake again.

Double-checking with paper maps isn't needed after one moose.
