I'm not making this up. three guys got lost on the north end of mosquito last night.
They tied up 3 county sherifs and one dnr agent. They used flashing lights and sirens
to guide them to the east shore. This lasted until midnight and I'm sure the people on 46 that had to get up for work loved it. I have fished mosquito for over 50 years and never got lost. I will admit that I have got lost after work and it took some time for me to find my way home.

Spacial relationships are extremely important. Gadgets and gizmos can malfunction in extreme cold and wet conditions. A good compass is only good if you use it on the way in as well as out. People usually don't. On a land or water trail, always look back frequently to see where you've been. Don't ever depend on something battery operated. Throw in a fog bank and your screwed............Just my humble opinion. --Tim

Nice pic. Brings up a good point...
We've evolved, came down out of the trees (present company excluded), survival of the fittest, natural selection...
Sounds like these guys will make the cut...
Only because they used what they had available which was the best, most effective and expedient solution. If they didn't have a phone, they would of had a long walk along the shoreline and eventually made it back to "civilization" ;)
It took a BIG swallow of pride to make that call I bet. Pride is a deadly sin!
It's definitely gotten me in a lot of trouble. lol

20 plus years ,got lost on Wingfoot lake night fishing. Hooked a bass by an Island, went around the Islands near Copelands. Fog rolled in and we had no clue where we were. Every light on shore looked like where we launched from. Finally got directions from someone on shore.
