Pay attention to the moon.
It can point out East or West to you.
Think of the crescent moon as a bow (Diana, the Greek Goddess of the hunt and the moon’s bow) with an arrow aimed at the sun.
In the evening the bow will point at the sun below the westren horizon.
In the morning the bow points at where the sun will rise on the eastren horizon.

Hey, this is great. I have been slightly off my path before (oops) high in the Rockies (even worse) and alone (really dumb!). This could have saved my life if I had not found the trail I was hiking on a few minutes later. I was lucky that time. Technology fails and we rely too much on it. Some old fashioned orienteering know how is great.

Don’t forget the stars! They’re your friend…particularly Polaris, “the North star.”
