2C Etc: Lost Near Home

I never thought I could get lost in Canyon County, but last summer it happened. After getting into flatwater kayaking for the first time in the lakes around Stanley, McCall, and Bend, my dad, brothers, and I decided to try out the Caldwell-to-Notus stretch of the Boise River. We put in at the north end of Caldwell and enjoyed a calm paddle a couple miles down the river. But then the river forked, then forked again, with no indication of which waterway was the main course. Apparently, we chose the wrong fork, and ended up in a densely vegetated section of river where fast-flowing water and low-hanging branches threatened to (and in one case, did) flip our kayaks over/ Randy Lavorante , 2C Etc.

Question: Have you ever gotten lost? What happened?
