Getting lost

As a general rule of thumb, things went wrong when you thought they are fine.
Today as I was almost done with the Mt. Si day hike, and leisurely strolling downhill with my attention fully on the podcast of "Studio 360", I got lost.
 
Thinking an open area a bit uphill was the trail, I braved through the dense bushes to make a shortcut, only to find that the small open  area was leading to nowhere. That only make it worse.  For a split second, I was a bit worried, although I could still heard the birds singing in the wood and can even see towns down hill, there is not a clear way out except for dense bushes.

Anyway, I eventually found my way back when I paused my ipod and caught people's voice, and started going to that direction. About 20 minutes later, I was strolling down the stores in North Bend mall and wondered, what if I didn't find my way back?
