Some people don’t have an automatic gps…I don’t…but he had a phone…maybe a 3 or 4 g with no signal! Give the individual a break!
How can you get lost in a small area with a cell phone. I can see getting lost somewhere in the Rockies, Montana but in NW Florida.
not knowing where is where can be concerning…but the river
couldn’t of been far to the east & 29 pretty close back west. Course
them coyotes & snakes don’t need cell phones etc. like humans do !
Glad he was ok other than embarrassed.
Can easily hear the mill and 29 traffic in there.
Darn buddy gotta call it like it is….If you get lost that quick after daylight ( 3hrs 11min )
then either slow down your pace or start snapping limbs on trees….Get a gps
He should try google maps next time.
