And you can see True North,

  1. Ah… maybe I just didn’t see the (click here for) comments on that last post I visited.
    In some places a compass doesn’t work. Too much metal in the ground. There’s one place that is supposed to be haunted that makes compass needles go crazy. Probably a few I would guess. Just remember moss grows on the north side of trees – if you are ever lost in a forest.

    I also did a quad of this form here: Fowl Mouth?
