Compass Coordinates
C is for compass.
A compass is a convenient contraption to keep a person on track.
Comprehending the coordinates is a chore for a child, but not so complicated for an adult.
A GPS has a built-in compass, but batteries can conk out, or electronics can crash.
A cairn could conduct a canny boy scout under clear conditions, but in inclement weather, when landmarks are disguised by dense clouds, compass coordinates can set the course.
A simple compass and map consign comfort and direction to any lost traveler.
Certainly, no kid's knapsack is complete without a compass.
Happy birthday to Eric, once a cute cub scout and now a cool compass, computer code, and mountain climbing guru.

ReplyDeleteGreat "C" word, Janie... I had to snicker a bit since --even with all of the new-fangled technology, we still need those older things, just like a good ole' compass.

ReplyDeleteGreat post - can't beat a compass for competency!
Could Eric come with me to read the compass? If not, Happy B-day anyway!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great post. It's nice to know that others still rely on a compass as well as a GPS! We do have the same hiking unit that you pictured.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to Eric.
I like how you worked in the cairn and also made it a homage to your sons birthday with photos past and present. Your efficiency of words and photos approaches blog post perfection, truly. Those cairns are always a welcome relief to see.
ReplyDeleteCan't get completely confused with a compass. Love the cub scout shot best.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Day Eric. Keep cool with your life compass.
Happy Birthday to handsome Eric and lots of kisses to him.
