Getting Lost in North Woods at Night= Terrifying

So, I decided to "get lost" in north woods--- at night. I went with one other friend who knew the woods ( I did not). What can I say about this experience except pure terror and disorientation? Not only did I not know any of my surroundings- as it was VERY dark and we were limited to a small beam of light pointed ahead of us- but, during the experience, a person and a dog were stalking us!! Every time we would look back with the beam of light, the person ducked, and the only thing we saw were a pair of creepy glowing eyes of the dog that would occasionally bark. So- getting lost provided me with quite the adrenaline rush. I kind of enjoyed it.... I have a couple of not-that-great pictures of the adventure. Though, I feel that they look as disoriented as I felt.

And across a swamp we went!

I don't know what goes on in North woods- but there was one point that candles were just hanging from trees. It was weird and it put me on edge. 
That was about the amount of light available ^^ so not only was I lost- I had no ability to see what was around me (only what was straight in front of me)
My friend leading the way! 
Image that was very disorienting- I was moving pretty fast at this point as we were clearly aware we were being stalked by something behind us. (SHEER TERROR)

So, those are the best pictures I acquired. Feeling lost does not feel good- at all. I've taken for granted the securities that I have with familiarities. Feeling lost feels kind of like a whirlwind of confusion and discomfort. The best word I could use to describe the experience is disorienting. I would do it again though, because it definitely brought me out of my comfort zone and into something fun and exciting.
