Years ago, when I was just about 10 years old, my father took me and my 13-year-old brother duck hunting. We spent the better part of a winter day wandering the Yazoo River swamps. What a thrill it was to explore the wilderness of my home state, Mississippi.

However, at some point in our adventure, we got ourselves turned around. By the time we realized what had happened, daylight was fading fast, and we weren't sure which way to head next.

Now, for those of you who don't know, the swamps of Mississippi can be a fascinating place to spend an afternoon, but they're a terrifying place to contemplate spending the night, particularly for a small boy.
