Took the ridge line over the river crossing, big mistake at mile 9

Was hiking the Lost Coast Trail near Shelter Cove and had to choose between the exposed ridge or the tidal river ford. Picked the ridge thinking I'd stay dry, but the map said 2.7 miles and it was actually 4 with constant bushwhacking. My buddy Jake who took the river was done an hour early and didn't even get his boots that wet. Has anyone else had a route choice that looked smarter on paper but totally backfired?
