Losing things on the trail.

If you read yesterday's story you might recall the bet Kadizzle made with his granddaughter Sylvie.  In the course of the bet Kadizzle actually put $80 into Sylvie's possession.  Kadizzle won the bet and demanded the money back.  Awakening yesterday morning Kadizzle realized his wallet was gone.  After a very intense search of the house the only conclusion was the wallet never made it home on the day of the hike.  The most likely location for the wallet was where the bet was finalized. Sadly that was as far up the trail as we went. This meant the whole hike of three miles or more had to be done over.  The wallet had credit cards, social security card, medicare card, drivers license and much more including eighty dollars. So off we went to rehike the hike. Good luck prevailed and Fran found the wallet in our bed.  Several miles into the drive we got the good news by phone and turned back.

The whole incident was like the time in Alaska where the car keys actually were lost at the top of a mountain and indeed the hike had to be repeated.  When you sit on the trail, fall on the trail, or do anything out of the ordinary look around. Once high on a mountain in Texas the GPS was left when we sat for lunch.  Back we had to go.
