[QUOTE="Packrat 6, post: 1024642, member: 80288"] Carl, Actually there are a few minor errors in it, but I was so PO'd when I wrote it I didn't catch them. You are actually orienting the map to magnetic north to get a magnetic azimuth rather than orienting the compass to the map. Really just a matter of semantics, the end result is the same. As far as the "Great unwashed" comment, it was from a was stolen from a politician in, I think Kansas, back in the late 60's or 70's that thought he was off camera and made a comment similar to "the great unwashed masses that think they have a say in running the country" referring to his constituents and an upcoming election. After it was televised, for some reason, he didn't get re-elected. Didn't seem to matter, the present day politicians seem to have adopted it as an attitude towards the balance of the population. Nothing personal meant by it for anyone on this site. Do all my personal grooming in spring and fall. Just too hot in summer to bother....:D Packrat [ATTACH]42013.vB[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
