Update: I quit relying on trail apps for route planning last season

Navigating with just a map and compass made me actually pay attention to the land. Don't you think we're losing that skill for good?

The only legendary skill I've got is getting lost in a parking lot WITH GPS. Maps are just paper that insults your sense of direction.

My map skills are legendary for all the WRONG reasons.

GPS apps saved me from myself, honestly. Got lost in a mall parking lot once and now I always check which way the car is facing. You learn where things are by going the wrong way enough times.
