No GPS? Which Way Is North on This Paper Thing?

No GPS? Which Way Is North on This Paper Thing?
Casual hiker on Cadillac Mountain, Mt Desert Island, Acadia National Park, Maine.

(Oh, serious hikers have all the right gear, tried-and-true. Wannabe hikers have a bunch of expensive L. L. Bean equipment, just posing to look good. This guy is neither.)

Great shot! Love the granite!
I'm a map man myself. Love the things. My girlfriend is an out-and-out GPS fanatic. We navigate for each other when the other is driving. I have to use her TomTom which I dislike intensely and find it hard to operate as the buttons don't ever do what I instruct them to do!! Endless rows ensue! :o(

Yo Andy, I actually thought of you when I saw the kind of granite in this shot -- Avalonia granite east of the Norumbega Fault in Maine: so same stuff you know on British Isles (and north of Gibraltar?) .

And yeah GPS instruction while driving ... I'm driving the pick-up pulling a caravan; wife is reciting GPS instructions -- we end up on some windy back-country Carolina roads; may be scenic but adds extra time and some not-easy driving to the trip.

Y'all have a great day, Wally

I love this and it does remind me of my wife and I when out walking too. No SatNav out there. I used to do maps but after some years of TomToming in the car, my navigational skills are waning. My wife is the map-reader but occasionally I have to get the old compass and binoculars out to help. No expensive equipment for us just a backpack with waterproofs, camera equipment and picnic, but that being said we rarely do more than 8 miles at a time in our wild North West England countryside. At least we don't pub-it for walking lunches! As Andy says, a nice bit o-granite here. -Love the hiking boots this bloke has!
Cheers, Herb

I've enjoyed the comments here. :-) Like Herb, I used to use maps, but my wife and I usually finished up having 'discussions'. Now on a long drive, I've convinced her the GPS is very capable - and I must say it is, with "left" actually meaning that and not "oops, the other way". :-) Looking at this chap, I'd say he's a day tourist and not a walker.
