Wow, great trip, and awesome photos, esp the ones of san francisco at sunrise.

Cool trip! I think Sammydee could tell you more about this initial "wrong turn"... He commented about it on trip 543522.

Awesome sunrise pics!

Super photos from the summit!

You fell into the same trap on the Matt Damon trail that I did - and that I discussed in my comments to our trip (http://www.everytrail.com/view_trip.php?trip_id=543522). That not-a-trail is dangerous and looks more real than the actual trail. I checked your track vs. my coords and sure enough, you made the same wrong turn we did. You were smarter than I was, however, and turned around ... whereas I continued on down the hill. It all worked out OK, but it wasn't fun at all.

I do a lot of volunteer trail maintenance and trail building, and I'd love to see that false trail obliterated.

After I couldn't walk down the trail without slipping I pulled out my phone and thankfully had perfect 3g service, so I pulled up Vaudesir's trip and noticed that I was getting further and further from his track so we turned around. It was much more obvious during the day.

Great trip, excelent pics, not to mention excelent use of inovative tech to get you back on track. 8^)

Nice work using an existing trip and your iPhone to get back on the trail! Lucky that you had 3G coverage, but you could have downloaded the track to your phone before starting ;). And with the soon to be added offline maps this will become even more powerful!
