Went exploring National Forest Land. Didn't have a very good Map and no compass. Had my GPS, it did Good I know not good to depend on it.

Wall to wall trees but interesting, not sure if I want to hunt it. Did see plenty of Deer and Turkey. Killed couple Squirrels.

Rock,

You are in good company. To quote Jim Bridger, "Often I didn't know where I was, but I was never lost".

Please be careful. GPS units can be blocked by the trees and the batteries die very very quickly. Always take a compass as backup.

We are all lost, most just don't know it. Seth

I've seen this place before. I think we're going in circles. Seth

Me too. Being a sheep, I am not always so good at following.

Some of the best things ever seen in nature are seen with no idea where you are. It isn't quite lost, you just can't quite pinpoint where you are...

I've heard a lot of people say they have an innate sense of direction...they cannot lose their direction?

I don't think these people have spent much time out in the weather, or out and about? If you cant see landmarks, sun, moon, stars, or no breeze, you are lost! Heavy snow or fog with no breeze, no sense of uphill or down, gets me. It's happened to me in what I think I can navigate with closed eyes!
