Park Rangers are Not Good at Distances

Just so everyone knows, Park Rangers are not good at distances.  When they say a mile they might be guessing and are likely to not be very close.  Marie and I walked a trail recently that was marked as a mile in distance.  Now I didn’t have a pedometer (that’s a device that measures how far you walk Danny), I can guarantee it was closer to 2 or 3 miles, which is even more of a problem when it is 95% hill and you are trying to get before dark.

So, a little piece of advice; when you read a trail map or marker and it says a mile, don’t believe it.
