I've gotten lost in woods before, when we were overseas; I had forgotten that the sun travels through the southern skies, instead of the northern. At home, I always instinctively know where north is because that's where the sun is... But in the northern hemisphere, it's the other way around, so that can be a little confusing. :-) Reginehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16080436146402944362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7221281884226879638.post-73346292333221999112017-12-01T05:53:28.744-04:002017-12-01T05:53:28.744-04:00Exceptionally intriguing.

I like the idea buy alas there are no woods for me to get lost in and I'd be really lost because I have no sense of direction. But I do envy your bravery to explore and be bathed. I have read about MDs prescribing nature for their patients. It is a very good thing. I'll just keep to my one acre of woods and some open spaces and walk with the dogs.

Though in the summer it did take me 4 hours to find my way home. As for Wendy, she seemed a bit obsessed with finding logs to chew. One time I was heading toward the setting sun and asked her for direction and she headed in the opposite direction.

If you had talked about 'forest bathing' in the 1950s/60s when most families had a cottage in the woodlands, visited over long summer vacations, then they'd think you were more than a bit off. At least I live among enough trees that I don't feel the urge to 'wander'.<br /><br />I feel a bit nervous for you, though. Depending on electronic gadgets for safety. I still hang on to my old fashioned road maps for car trips into the less known.<br /><br />I do do, however, enjoy your adventures...Dean Shewringhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16333849971027946586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7221281884226879638.post-63309582234407691802017-11-26T22:25:30.574-04:002017-11-26T22:25:30.574-04:00Maybe you need an old fashioned compass? and how a...Maybe you need an old fashioned compass? and how about the dogs?
