Bl, oh you are a wiz with those weather maps.
Karen in my realm of the great outdoors 'some' weather knowledge has rubbed off and seeped into my brain _ a little old school and modernized.
A map is a place you throw a dart at when you're young.
So now your are there.
Have you done your local knowledge homework
? What secrets and best possible weather outcomes one takes away and absorbs from the tip of the dart is the magic and mostly on your now knowing.
Knowing as much as one can about the destination, customs, language
*, trails, rules, topography,
weather, bugs, climate, flora, fauna etc, etc etc ...
Is the Key to how I still type here.
* My mother was a librarian and taught me Latin at a very young age so I can generally work my way through most.
I wish more, but just like books and places there are just so many ...
Many major excursions long before the 'internet age'.
So many "outdoor type peeps" using
electronic battery operated hand held devices. Totally turned around.
Pip and I ask kindly .. can we help you ?
No we're good. You can see the head scratching navigational look.
We tortoise walk up/down Mtn trails with paper maps and a compass like Magellan all the time.
I
never ever walk into an unfamiliar place in the lower 48 without a USGS 7.5 Minute Paper Map and a Compass and the reliable knowledge on how to use both.
We try to scoop up most of the GPS/Smartphone users wandering around as best as we can as we come back down.
