Granted /I was not there and am just going off the posted info.
BUT:
I've got to ask, why would you call 911, is it just because you can't cross the creek, now a river? Because you might be late for work?
Remember when you call 911 you are asking someone else to come and possibly risk their life, is that a reasonable expectation considering your circumstances? If it is then call, that's what 911 is for. IF not then why not just hunker down below the tree line, find shelter, make new friends and roast marshmallows?
You did remember to carry emergency supplies and equipment necessary to camp out overnight, a trash bag, space blanket, food bar or two, heat pack, candle,etc. Heck even if you had to stay out two extra nights was your life threatened to the extent of calling 911?
As a side note is there a map trace or can someone make one to show the "old" trail?
