more on my moronics

the reason i sent the SMS that i sent was simple: my safety margin was running thin. i wasn't in dire straits yet, but i like to make it back to my car with spare fluids (i eventually did) in case my car is gone, broken, burnt up, etc.

when up in the sierras last week, i put on my rain gear before the storm hit us, and i stayed dry. likewise, today i put out the sos before i was irretrievably lost and dehydrated. of course, less than 10 minutes after the sos went thru, i found my trail. but i cut things a little too close for comfort.
