Travels with Walter

Just for fun and to keep active with the SPOT locater, we took it along on one of our more extended walks today.

The gold straight lines are what the SPOT sent. The darker curvy line is
where we actually walked.

The picture is from the signals sent to the satellite and then to our web page.  I thought it would send more locations than it did.  Believe me walking with a dog, especially a scent hound, there are no straight lines anywhere. But the unit draws lines from location to location so this is what we got.

To explain:  Location 1: Not at home, but next to a gravel pit we pass. We continued on south to where
that road curves sharply to the west. We went east, jogged through those trees then turned west until we ended up in that gray parking lot that just shows south of the road. From there we crossed the road and went north on the one that leads to spot 2.  From spot 2 we angled across the end of the runway until we reached that trail that goes just about straight north near the east end of the runway. How many people walking their dogs have to watch for aircraft landing or taking off?  The first little trail that goes off to the east (right) off that trail led us to position 3. That connects with our road and we walked down it to the driveway and to the house (Position 4).

Guide: North is up, south is down, east is right and west is left.

Of course there were lots of jogs off into the pucker brush here and there especially when Walter was off the leash between spots 1 and 2, but south of that road.
