I just took a trip to the sizzling hot springs and the people I was with and I lost our heat on the way here.
That was nothing compared to what almost happened on the way back though.
I took off early from the sizzling springs because it was getting dark and the path back was quite treacherous. After about more than four or five minutes of walking back I realized I was going the wrong way, so I turned around and went back to meet the group. When I got back though, the group was gone and it was just me by myself. My heating, ventilation, and A/C rep neighbor had my iPhone and that was going to be my light to see, so then I was lost with no light and no iPhone to call. I kept calm, however I knew I would not survive the sub zero evening with no heating component or tent to keep warm. Luckily, I spotted some lights above me to the left, far above me, and I yelled and whistled and they heard me because the lights were flashing at me. I just wanted a sizzling hot fireplace in the lodge with a big comforter wrapped around me. So I ran and caught up with the group, and the people I was with and I made it back to safety. I thought about that mountain when I got to the cabin apartment and realized if I did get lost, and had no type of oil furnace or space heating component to keep me warm, I would have ended up frozen by the time morning rolled around. It was eighteen below zero that evening, as I heard on the weather forecast the next morning.
