However, if I become confused then I first calm down and look around to get a feel of where I am. Usually that works and if not, I ask for directions from someone nearby.

It would be great to have some of those "You are Here" posters on the streets of big cities. When I get lost, I try to follow my instincts, but if that fails I'll ask for directions. Service stations are good sources, if you can find one. <br /><br />Hard to believe it's almost over. I'm skipping the BOTB this time; blogger burnout! :P Plus I don't like blogging on the weekends.Hubby, dogs and the yard all need attention.

Now, if someone told me to go south for 2 miles and then turn west...I would be lost but if you told me to go for a couple of miles until you see a big Boulder and then turn left, I would find it.

I look for "You are here" maps wherever they may be because inevitably I'll be lost or want to find something;-) In absence of a handy map or familiar landmark I don't mind asking for directions. Otherwise I just wing it and eventually find my way:-) Occasionally, the sun is a big help too.<br />You've had a fantastic theme!

Sometimes that involves finding a place to stop and ask directions. Never try that en route back from Corpus Christi, though. You'll find yourself back in Corpus Christi. haha<br /><br />"You Are Here" maps are great and, yes, I use them when they are available.<br /><br />Have a blessed day!Suzanne McClendonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15563562309945754772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-5518517103884497932016-04-29T03:22:29.869-07:002016-04-29T03:22:29.869-07:00I love the You Are Here markers!
