No doubt some of Paulides' cases are genuinely mysterious. But I'll bet that many of them come down to people who weren't prepared or who weren't aware of their surroundings.

There is over a hundred acres behind my back 40. I like walking out there with one or more of my dogs, because I never come back the exact same way.
You are so right. Just a few yards off the trail, feels like you have enter a different world. It is ridiculously easy to get lost. Even in an area where you think you know where you are.
