Tried a shortcut over Table Mountain. Big mistake.

Was on the Mist Trail in Yosemite last June. Took what I thought was a cut across an old use trail. Ended up on a steep slab of granite with a 40 foot drop on one side. Had to backtrack an hour in the dark with just my phone light. Learned my lesson. Anybody else take a wrong turn that turned into a real mess?

Tripped over my own feet trying to dodge a patch of poison oak and rolled like 15 feet down a hill. Ended up with a twisted ankle, a torn shirt, and poison oak all over my arms. My buddy still calls it my "extreme gardening" moment. Definitely earned that stupid tax.

Fell into a cactus trying to impress a girl. Broke my own record for dumb.
