"Was trying to do a loop hike on the Shining Creek and Old Butt Knob trails in the Shining Rock Wilderness, but I missed the turn onto the Old Butt Knob Trail and instead accidentally took the Art Loeb Trail to the summit of Stairs Mountain. Some guys were hanging out up there and waiting to watch the sunset. They told me my mistake, and I scurried back to the car the same way I came with barely enough daylight left to find it. No headlamp, not enough water--very foolish venture...." — briansnyder • Nov 27, 2015
