Again thanks to Alan for the push. This one was closer to sunset. Thank goodness for a headlamp as I was further into the badlands than I thought. 15 minutes of panic, but eventually found my way back to the entrance.
This is really nice Doug. I am glad Alan helped urge you to pull this one out. Bisti is just one super cool place.
The nice thing with Bisti if you think about it at night is it's almost impossible to get lost as long as you walk west. The fences and the hills keep you pretty well channeled.
Bringing a flashlight is a good idea always. I keep both a headlamp and a flashlight in my camera bag. I also always keep a spare headlamp in my backpack. I have converted all of my headlamps and flashlights over to USB charging ones. So even if they die I can charge them up with the little USB solar powered battery pack I bring with.
To add to Jim's comment about not getting lost - if you didn't bring a compass just head downstream in any drainage you encounter. They all converge and go down towards the parking area.
There is an issue with Uploading Photos (attachjments). I am not sure what the problem is, and I am looking into it. You can still try to Create your Threads and Upload your Photos, but it is hanging up during the Upload.
