I lost myself for two hours yesterday, though I knew where I was at all times. In fact, it would be difficult to actually lose one’s way along Sourdough Trail. Within the area I frequent, which extends a little beyond the section known as Gardner Park, there’s only one side trail to speak of (deer trails abound, however, and are especially handy when the main path is under water).

Since you can’t see the trails or even the stream from above, I’ve added a simplified map that shows my project area in gray.
