I would have done the same thing as you - driven on to get cell coverage, called for help and gone back to wait for the help to arrive in the safety of my car.

Think about what advice you would have given your daughter or a friend in the same situation - and then don't feel guilty for doing the same thing.

You did the right thing, you had to make the call on the phone 4 help, the only way to do that was to get service. I would have done the same thing.

Its pitiful that we live in a world where you have to even think about whether what you did was right or wrong! You did exactly the right thing by the way, but isn't it sad that we have to consider our own safety first in a situation like that. You want to help (and you did!)...but...

I think you did the right thing. You got help by continuing on until you had cell service and could call 911. What a blessing these cell phones are.

What would you've done? No cell coverage, alone, dark, and in the middle of dense woods.

I think I would have done just what you did, drive to a place I could call and call 911 and report where the problem was.

There are people out there that prey on others. I know it turned out that it wasn't someone like that, but it COULD have been. You absolutely did the right thing.
