So playing the trombone wasn't getting me in enough trouble?

Without a Compass Day - What direction are you going?
When I was a little guy, no wait I'm still a little guy, I meant when I was younger, I enjoyed wandering through woods and forests. Actually, I still do. Very often I would get so preoccupied with the sights and sounds of my journey that I'd lose track of my path. That was wonderful for discovery, but annoying when it was time for lunch.

A trick that I found was to remember the Down/Listen Advice. The principle is based on the fact that most civilization forms in valleys, so to find the valley you head — down. This will also very often lead you to a road or stream, that's the listening part. You can hear a road before you'll see it, likewise for a stream.

I have found my way out of the trees quite often using this advice.

I have never really minded getting a bit lost, whether hiking or driving. Sometimes the best adventures start with being lost!



Signiture Item...I'm only the trombone player!
