@littlek,
I've not noticed, silly as it sounds........... the inlet we are walking around does not lend itself well to direction, at least for me, as I tend to just accept such things as they are. Watches, compasses and the like are perhaps better left behind. That's pretty funny coming from a guy who loves gizmos, but a walk is a walk is a walk is.
There is no sun in the sky and everything is as green as a fresh dollar bill, some like to pick fiddle heads and mushrooms along the way.
