[pct-l] Navigation Problems

[Brick Robbins]

Not PCT, but I got really lost today using some of the navigation
tricks I rely on while hiking.

I exited the subway in Buenos Aires and headed south towards the low
winter midday sun. Things didn't look right, and I started getting
really confused.

That is when I remembered, that in the southern hemisphere, the low
winter midday sun would be in the north. Then I got even more confused
and disoriented. So I stopped, got out my compass and map, and figured
out where I was.  Urban navigation at its best.

And yes, I'm serious, I keep a compass in my bag to orient myself when
I come out of the subway stations at night. Old habits die hard.
