Remember when you could just follow a creek to find a trail?
Last fall on the Lost Coast Trail, a major slide wiped out the path near Randall Creek. My map said to go around, but the 'detour' was just a vague arrow pointing inland. I spent a solid 90 minutes bushwhacking through thick, slide-choked brush before I found the trail again. Anyone else run into a reroute that turned into a real adventure recently?

90 minutes bushwhacking through slide choked brush" is the kind of map note that needs its own warning label. A vague arrow pointing inland is basically the trail saying "good luck, you're on your own now." That sounds less like a reroute and more like the forest just decided to adopt you for a while.

Did the map get made by a prankster?
