Well...I almost panicked tonight!!! I've been going for walks most evenings to explore my new surroundings. Tonight I walked a little TOO far before trying to find my way back to the hotel!!! I wound up on this trail in a park and got twisted around!!! It got VERY dark VERY quickly!!! Thank God there were a couple of young ladies also out walking in the dark, they were together but I was alone.  I started jogging a bit to keep them in site.  They slowed down at some point and I was able to catch up with them. I told them that I'd gotten a little turned around and that I was just trying to keep my eyes on them hoping they would lead me back to a point where I could find my way back to where I started.  Janelle and Kylie were my guarding angels tonight! They not only got me back to the trail that I started on but they walked with me farther than I thought they would and they discovered more of Lake Havasu that they didn't know about!!!

  1. Hi Courtney,

    If that was me I would have been so scared. Good thing for those girls! However, it sounds like you like in a beautiful new location (trails, friendly people) I am sure that is comforting when trying to adjust to a new place. I hope the transition is smooth and you truly enjoy your new living situation!

  2. That is a scary situation! If my wife goes for a jog at dusk she usually carries her can of mace with her. I know that may sound as a little much but there are some scary stories out there about joggers running into trouble in certain circumstances.
