My GPS track showed I walked exactly 42 loops around the same lake in Colorado's Lost Creek Wilderness.
I was just reviewing my old route data and the number hit me because I'd always thought of that trip as one big loop, not realizing how much I'd circled back on myself exploring side canyons, so has anyone else had a route surprise them like that when you looked at the stats later?

Remember my friend's story about his "straight line" desert hike? His GPS map later looked like a ball of yarn, showing he'd actually wandered in huge, lazy circles for hours without knowing it. The data can really show you a different story than the one in your head.
