Follow the orange blaze I heard.
Enjoy the day with your friend she asked.
And I said…sure.
It will be beautiful
We were pretty sure.
And we were right.
Just watch for those orange blazes.
And stick with your friend.
Until she disappears.
And this is the last known picture taken of me.
When I continued to follow the endless orange blazes…
That loop
And loop
And loop.
As everyone else follows the white blazes.
And then call the forrest rangers out to find and rescue you.

Disclaimer.
I was not lost.
I knew where I was.
I was not in the right place.
Until I got back to the right place.
I never stopped looking, moving and getting there.
I just took a longer time to get there.
