Wow! What a difference a couple days make. Who would of thought that after posting Sunday, Heather would be put on bedrest (high blood pressure), I would be stranded in the woods overnight and I would make local headlines in the newspaper. Here is the clip from the Valley News:

Lebanon - A Quechee man spent several hours lost in woods around Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center early yesterday before he was found by a search party, Lebanon Police said.

Russell Skow, 27, was uninjured after he got lost in the dark and decided to stay put instead of trying to find his way out of the woods.
Skow went mountain biking near DHMC around 6 p.m. Monday, police said. His wife, Heather Skow, became concerned when he did not return.

Lebanon police were contacted around 12:15 a.m. and found Russell Skow's vehicle in a hospital parking lot near numerous trails, but found no traces of him during an initial search.

Around 3 a.m., they organized a larger search, involving a police K-9 unit, two officers on ATVs and an officer from the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department, Police Lieutenant Scott Rathburn said.

Skow was located at 5:22 a.m., about 1.5 miles from the DHMC parking lot.

I want to take this time and let everyone know how much we appreciate both your thoughts and prayers through this very trying time. One moment, we find ourselves laughing at how wild and crazy the whole experience was, the next minute, we're both crying and thanking God that we're back together and that nothing really serious happened.

When you're stranded all night long and can't sleep a wink, you have every bit of that time to think. All I could think about is how much I love Heather and how worried and sick I made her and how much I want to be there for Jonathon, be there to help with him, be there to take care of him. Well, I can't be doing that and being lost in the woods at the same time, huh? That is an easy call to make. No mountain biking for awhile. Definitely, lesson learned!
