Holy cow! You were lost in Dittmer!!! It is soooooooo wooded there. You could go forever and not see a road or house back in there. Did you have a cell phone? I imagine the signal may be iffy in parts. And that snow we had was unreal. My son saw his friend flip his truck on the road. (Friend was fine). It just dumped. Did the snow hit before you were found? So glad you are okay!

I have a Garmin GPS. It's the Venture CX. Fairly inexpensive and it has a backtrack feature. I got it because I got lost on the gravel roads here. One for the dogs sounds like a good idea, though. Whew...that must have been scary.
