OH man, the one time I looked at doing this it was TOUGH, I may have to give it another shot-thanks for the post!

 

Duh!! You're a girl. Girls can't read maps...

 

Ya know, I'd ask you to partner with me since I'm in apparent need of male assistance but it is about a month away from now so...you'd probably just say yes, put your name on the list, then go silent and never actually show.

I'd probably have a better chance of just learning to read maps myself before then.
