Got totally lost in the fog
I went to lake clarke (susquehanna river) today to hunt ducks. it was kinda foggy at my home so i figured it would be great hunting. I got out in the river and pretty much got lost. I couldn't see 40 feet in front of me. I fooled around for about a half hour till i finally found a shoreline. i knew i was never at that spot before. I wasn't sure if i was up towards wrightsville or down near the dam. the water was moving somewhat fast. I knew they had several flood gates open. I anckored and took and slim chance that someone would be in the area. i yelled a couple of times. and to my suprise someone heard me. they told me my location. I think i ended up down near a small road that comes down by a few houses. I was about a mile above the dam. I thanked the unknown person for his help and i headed up the west shore to the launch. Man, I was glad to be back. I must have been going in circles. It was a scary deal. The main thing i was concerned with was the dam. I didn't want to get anywhere near that dangerous area. I did hear the roar of water a one point so i headed the other direction in a hurry. I would have been fine if i would have had a compase along but of course i didn't. fog can really screw up your sence of dirction.
I was very lucky that man was out there. I was one lucky person today there is a lesson learned here. when its that foggy stay of large lakes. or atleast stay near shorelines. |
