The next morning part 2

It was around 8am before it was warm enough to take off, I figured we couldn't stand to get much colder at that point walking was rough at first it didn't feel like our legs were attached to us at all, than within a mile we were peeling off jackets. I never thought I would use the word too hot for anything. We push each other to continue on taking only brief stops to get the weight off our legs and stretch our backs. It was during one of these brief stops that we heard a car I could even see the sun shining of the grill. I told Carolynn the car it's right there we stood up and it was gone was this a mirage OMG where did it go, we started walking towards where it was hoping it was parked out of sight but I remembered a turn off up there somewhere and yes it had turn up a different canyon missing us entirely. Ok I must of pissed someone off, I started a thorough inventory of my life, I try to live my life right, and if Alan was watching over us why was he letting this happen to me, mind you this is the canyon that he wanted his ashes spread and I haven't been able to do that yet. Than it occurred to me 3 years ago after I spent the night in the woods unplanned the first time he bought me a Spot a satellite locator, I called it my leash and he really didn't like that at all, well last year the subscription expired and I never got it renewed. That morning I looked up how to renew it and saw this new spot with gps (check out my link) all those that hike or wonder alone should have one of these. Well I should of had it before going out that's for sure, along with blankets, flares etc. Maybe this was a nudge from him, well it was well over a nudge more like pushing me off a cliff, but we had been married 20 yrs. HE KNEW ME!! So I made all those promises people make if you get me out of this. Hey this was only a few hours into our walk, god knows what I was promising after the 4th and 5th hour and you will never find that out. It was so strange that we didn't see anyone, it was DEER season, where were the hunters? Actually I said where was the fu----- hunters. If I didn't know that we only had a few more miles before the main road I think I would of sat down and quit, Carolynne and I pushed each other more than before knowing we didn't want to spend another night in the cold. we were getting close to 6hrs of walking and didn't feel we could do much more..........part 3
