Got stuck overnight on the Highline Trail because I didn't check the water report

Spent 8 hours bushwhacking back to the trailhead after my dry creek crossing turned into a 3-mile detour. Anyone else ever get humbled by assuming a water source would be flowing?

That "humbled" part hits hard, I've been there too.

Haha wait, I actually read that a little different. It's not really about being humbled like you failed or something, more like realizing how fast things can change. But yeah, been there too.

It really does humble you real quick.
