As the old mountain man said, "I've never been lost. But I have been turned around for days at a time."

Terms defined:
Lost --> not being able to find your way home.
Turned around --> no idea where you are exactly, but with a vague idea which way home lies.

Yep, that's me.

I have a pretty good internal compass, and that helps. Also extensive early training. My Dad stressed knowing where you are and how to get home. He'd take me up into the mountains on horseback, then let me lead us home. We took the occasional odd route, but it was good training. There are tricks to it

I think I depend on the sun, as grey skies confuse me. I'd probably be hopeless in Australia, but I'm pretty reliable in North America.
