Fate has a wicked sense of humor sometimes. Meandering my way across southern Idaho I reached behind me to ensure my tent and sleeping bag were still with me - I am using some low-budget straps to tie them down. When I checked the bag was there, the tent was not.

I stopped, looked at the odometer, and decided I'd backtrack 5 miles. Just then Coldplay's "Everything's not lost" came on my iPod.

Exactly 5 miles later I gave up the search. Guess what street I turned around in? Cutoff Road.

I'm not making this up, I promise I'm not that clever.
