An adventure was had and you have a story to tell
The absolute best part of goggle maps, once the phone finds service, is the white roads on a light background.
I know, right?
If you don’t know where you are going you can’t get lost. 😂🤣😂👍👍👏👏
honesty is a bugger !
maps , phone, gps ,and I'm still getting lost!
Great video!!!
Thanks! Yeah, I could look better if I made different editorial choices. But I don’t wanna. 😎
And that is why those paper maps are indispensable.
Fun fact: Rommel got lost in the desert because he was taking magnetic compass readings while on top of his tank. They teach in orienteering to take magnetic readings you have to be away from large magnetic objects like maybe a KLR650...Maybe a cellphone shows magnetic reading differently, which I highly suspect they do, but just a thought.
Great video and like your humbleness.
Thanks! I think this day is chalked up to user error. I don’t normally get this turned around, and it did not feel good. I hope to avoid repeat experiences. 😀
@@JeremyKroeker Getting turned around will be a low points in any trip. My friends call me the Human GPS and when I feel like I am not sure and turned around it is the worst feeling.
Even though I use 2 types of GPSs (Garmin 660 for roads, and 700i for backcountry) and a local BRMB book on my KLR I carry the old tried and true real handheld compass as the start point when discombobulated.
Keep up the great videos.
I should get a proper compass. Thanks for the kind words.
I would have cried! Beautiful area and nice shirt. ❤
Hey. thanks! These shirts sell themselves. 😎
This felt very familiar.. More often than not i find myself on another road than I planned, have to backtrack, and have no idea where I am, but I always find my way home. I just tell myself it's an adventure..
Yes. It’s frustrating in the moment, though. Thanks for watching. 😎
We almost took that route Jeremy,nice to see you Scout it out for us 😁 enjoy your videos.
Thanks for watching! I love this area. I’ll be back … and I’ll do better next time. 😎
That was an interesting video!
Thanks for watching!
I tried this route last year with my brother, your correct about the Web of roads on that side of arrow lake. I had the route on my phone "google maps" but there is no cell coverage and I missed a turn and if you deviate your phone looses the route and can't calculate :( We got lost and ended up wrapping around the mountain and eventually ended up back at the Arrow park ferry. I'm going to do it again this year and get it right :)
I went back and did it the proper way just a few weeks after I filmed this. It’s a much nicer and shorter ride when you don’t get lost. 😂
Great vid.
Thanks!
Where'd you get those earplugs? Look like the same ones I use at work.
It’s so easy to get turned around out there! I’m sure it’s happened to more than a few of us.
Right? It’s never happened to me this bad before.
I'm going to Canada from Mexico, I want to coincide
I probably would have panicked
It was disconcerting. I do not recommend. 😬
Mr. Jeremy are you watching Ed March's new Mini-Jeep Adventure.? Goodness how I would love to see a video of you and him together on an Canadian Adventure. Did you watch "urAvgRider" MotoTrip to Yellowknife and back.? We should invite Critter_moto to come visit us in Calgary. Ooh speaking of invitations... did you ever see my last video that was made 2-weeks BEFORE Aug 27th.? ;-)
I probably shouldn’t go adventuring with Ed. I don’t think I can suffer like he can. 😎 @c90adventures
THAT's TRUE.! Count me out too. Hee hee
It's better that we watch him achieve the unachievable from the comforts of our home. I cannot get over how funny that Interview you did with him years ago. I;d sure like to invite him back to Canada so you could do another Interview. Remember the problems he had in Quebec, I felt embarrassed that he experienced that here in our Country. 😞
Story of my life, turned left, should have turned right.......
It’s just that ONE little mistake. 😂
