“Dis Way Man!”🐸
It took a bit of persuading to get PEPE out of the Hot Tub today!🤔
Once I convinced my green friend that Silvertop was headed to the deepest, darkest, part of the forest, he was toweling off and ready for a hike!☺️
“Silbertop, I lead the way, PEPE very experienced hiker!”🐸
Hmmm……………..
“Are you sure my friend, the last thing we need is to get lost in the Wilderness!”😳
Getting lost can easily happen to the most skilled outdoorsman!😮
Here are a couple of easy to remember skills can help you in such difficult times!
First how much daylight do you have left?
Getting lost early in the day, isn’t as bad as wondering what direction to turn as the Sun is beginning to set!🙄
Simply hold up your hand to the Sun, and count how many fingers from the Sun to the horizon!
Each finger is approximately 15 minutes, so all four fingers would give you an hour before sunset!
Tip number two……….
If you are truly desperately lost, follow any creek or stream downhill, eventually it will reach civilization!😇
“Silbertop, dat good advice, I always follow “Big fast moving ponds” downhill, other PEPE’s always in water!”🐸
“I think you have the basics my friend! “Now just for today, how about PEPE follow Silvertop on our hike? I really don’t feel like wading through any creeks to try to find our way home today Lol☺️
Everyone enjoy the weekend, till tomorrow Silvertop Mike 😊

You guys forgot one other very important thing........moss grows on the NORTH side of trees, so you can always tell your direction of travel by either where the sun is in the sky or the moss on the trees! Pepe maybe not as smart as he thinks?😁🐸😹
Maybe……😇
Moss grows EVERYWHERE in the Pacific Northwest!🤣
I have more experience with getting lost in foreign cities. But it's certainly interesting in nature too.

You have a very beautiful country. I would love to come visit someday, and see some of your mountains my friend!😊
We live in a beautiful state! You found a dear :) Nice steps...
I walked right by this deer and she didn’t even move!😇
I believe it was one of the babies that grew up in the forest on our property!😇
I had one deer and it would come up to us when we were in the hot tub!😊
I just hope they are not trusting of everyone!😇
I don't go hiking, but thank you for the useful tips you shared. I imagine it's tough to get lost esp. in such a vast forest place. Keep the lovely photos and interesting stories coming! Happy weekend!
