After my son finished AIT (13F), he came to AZ and we went Ghost Town hunting. Near here is a well hidden GT (even when you are standing in the middle of it) and we set out to find it. I had a pretty good idea where it was but there was no trail from where we started. Cocksure son immediately took point and led us in the opposite direction. I let him get about 1/2 mile before I pointed out his mistake. Oh, BTW, while there was no trail but there
was a river.
