Took a wrong turn on the PCT and ended up in someone's backyard BBQ

I was hiking the Pacific Crest Trail near Donner Pass last August and missed a switchback. Thirty minutes later I walked straight into a family reunion happening in a backyard. The dad was flipping burgers and just handed me one without even asking. I stood there eating a burger with my backpack on while a kid asked if I was a cryptid. Turned out the trail was rerouted due to a washout and I missed the sign. Has anyone else ever accidentally stumbled into a non-trail situation on a route?
