I'll start.
When my daughter was about 14 I picked her up in Oakridge after her weekend with her mother and were on our way home.
Well, she wanted to drive and did not have her permit yet so we took off of Hwy 58 toward Waldo Lake and I let her drive on the way home as we were heading over the old road back to Century Drive.
Well after longer than I realized we should have came out on Century Drive we were still in the woods and it was getting thicker and dark and I realized I was not watching our way but I was pretty familiar with this area and thought I would see something familiar soon.
Ok, so I am trying to figure out where we were headed and we were in deep woods at this point so I told her before long we would have to stop and make a fire and sleep in the truck for the night.
Finally a short time later it opened up and I kind of recognized the area and shortly thereafter we came to a road I KNEW and I told her to turn on it and came out at Davis Lake!
It was about 11 PM at this point and home was only about a half hour from there so no overnight stay needed!
Somehow she had turned South and I didn't realize it and we got turned around in the woods.
