brrrr
A beautiful and really cold day. Damn near killed myself taking this pic.
I was walking on a frozen pier, the scenery was so pretty, I broke through the ice 2 or 3 times, bruised my ankles pretty good. I slipped on the ice 2 or 3 other times. Could have fallen in the water, drifted out into the lake in 5 minutes. And nobody knew that I was there.
But I didn't fall in the water, and I got this view, it was worth it.
For those from warm climates, the roundish things at the bottom are not plastic things. those are rocks covered by ice.

You should be more careful in the future. Always let someone know where you're going if you're planning to take a trip in the open.
Well... it's been a long 13 hours of work. Time to go collapse in a bed.
Actually it wasn't much of a trip, this is walking distance. And even if someone notices me missing after an hour or so, it won't help. The current out of that creek is pretty fast, and in that water you have maybe 10 minutes.
How about a gadget with some sort of "panic button" that quickly sends a signal of distress to the Police or your family? GPS tech has some advantages after all :)
Sure those would help, but 10 mins for help to get there, find me, and get me out of the cold water is still a low percentage shot.
