Most memorable outdoor experience

 My most memorable outdoor moment was getting lost on the last day of my NOLS backpacking trip. Although we had been lost many times before, that time, we were miles off the map and did not think we would find the rest of our group before the buses came to pick us up the next day. We kept looking into the night sky expecting helicopters to find us (as we assumed our group leaders had called in for help), but all we could see were stars. We spent that night, 4th of July, talking about how much our parents were going to kill us when we missed our flights home while munching on partially hydrated cous-cous. I will never forget it.
