Showerthought: My worst day on the Lost Coast Trail was because of a single tide chart.

We started the 25 mile stretch thinking we had a 4 hour window, but a buddy misread the chart and we got pinned against a cliff by the surf for almost two hours near Shelter Cove. What's the closest call you've had with a tide or river crossing on a route?

Man, that sounds rough. I actually double-check those charts against two sources now. Got caught once myself on a beach in Oregon because I only looked at the nearest station, not the correction for my exact spot.

Yeah, that correction thing is everywhere now.

Ever hear about the guy who tried to ford the Skagit at dusk?
