Twenty Tramps signed up for the two-evening class, Wilderness Navigation with Map and Compass. Our instructor was Mike Quinn. The program was held at the American Legion in New Hartford, where, in addition to the excellent instruction, we had a very nice meal on both nights.
On Saturday, October 17, we proceeded to the BREIA trails where Mike had us practice taking and following Field Bearings. It was a different experience to apply what we had learned in class, to the field!
