Staying Oriented During Specific Indianapolis Activities
What’s involved in staying oriented varies somewhat with the particular activity or form of wilderness travel you’re involved in. Most hiking and backpacking takes place on marked or unmarked trails, of course. Hiking maps which show the trails clearly are available for many but not all areas. As long as you know how to follow a trail, read a map, and use a compass, it’s extremely unlikely that you’re going to get lost. For more about hiking trails see The Essential Guide to Hiking in the United States.
Canoeists, kayakers, and rafters need maps which show waterways in detail. Following a single river or stream may not be a problem, but some rivers fork or lead into lakes. Bays and islands on larger lakes or along the ocean sometimes have a confusingly similar appearance. The map as well as other sources of information will be important in helping you pinpoint where you are, and also the location of potential campsites.
If you’re traveling on horseback or by bike, many of the appropriate trails, paths, or old roads you’ll use will probably be without signs or markers, or infrequently marked at best. A detailed map will be essential in helping you keep oriented. Best is a map designed for the particular activity you’re involved in.
Cross-country ski trails are sometimes but not always marked. For well-known areas special XC ski maps are often available. When in doubt about your orientation, you could always return by following your own tracks out, and the same option exists when you’re snowshoeing. There’s a danger here, however, in that wind or fresh snow can obliterate existing tracks at any time. Since getting lost in the winter could easily be life-threatening, always pay extremely close attention to your route.

Knopf, 1996 Wilkes, John (17251797) An eighteenth-century English radical, John Wilkes’s libel of King George III caused the rise of the Wilkes and Liberty campaign, as the radical segments of London’s middle and lower class struggled to protect their freedoms from what they saw as growing political tyranny. Wilkes also became a hero to many Country patriots. He was frequently toasted at banquets, and his name was mentioned in political speeches. Wilkes was born on October 17, 1725, to a malt distiller. His marriage to a wealthy landowner, Mary Meade, in 1747 gave Wilkes the economic freedom to carouse with friends resulting in his divorce in 1757 and later to become involved in political activities, eventually leading to his election as a member of Parliament from Aylesbury.
