[QUOTE="Kahuna Burger, post: 1536387, member: 8439"] [b]By Foot To The West:[/b] When baja returns with a plump pair of rabbits for dinner, you discover that he has some insight into the directions you have been traveling and the orientation of the 'maps' based on how you came together. Backtracking part of Faustus's journey, you take the fork he chose against to find 'the halfs' and head northeast.

You are gratified to see that each day does make progress and also notice the other convergence seems to be moving "up" to that dot as well.
