Drunk experience matters! (aka Respect the wisdom of your elders)

I spent over twenty years on the road with my job. I had a ship load of maps, and I loved using them.

I like to think there was an art to map reading, but it probably was just something I had to do to go from point A to point B.

Yes, there IS an art to map reading, and it is becoming a lost art. Less well known is that there is also an art to map FOLDING. All newly minted lieutenants should be required to take a 6 week course in map folding, so that the art sinks in.

Folding is very important. It's like an accordion.
