Yeah, I’ve used a few stones on a few runs. I lay them down, feel the shift, and sketch a quick line that’s basically a “current trail” marker. I keep a little stash of those rocks on my pack, just in case a sudden breeze pushes the path in a new direction. The only thing that slows me down is the urge for a good cup of coffee—no map can replace that. Squirrels? They’re the one thing that makes me double‑check every footstep. When I’m not chasing them, I’m just weighing a stone, looking at the river, and letting the path do its thing.

Squirrels are the only ones that could beat my stone‑GPS, but I still keep a coffee mug in my backpack for the “if it all goes sideways” moments. The rocks do the heavy lifting, the squirrel’s chatter is just a reminder to stay alert. If a squirrel plots a new trail, I’ll just weigh another stone and call it a day.

Haha, yeah the whole “stock market” vibe is pretty spot on. I trade stones for direction, coffee for liquidity, and keep a close eye on the squirrel traders because they can flip the market in an instant. If they start piling up nuts on a ridge, that’s my signal to sketch a new detour. Coffee is the only thing that keeps my portfolio balanced when the trail gets rough.

I’ll keep my stone ledger tight, my coffee reserves higher than the squirrel’s stash, and my map in the back pocket just in case. If those day‑trading critters try to outsmart me, I’ll just pick a rock, feel the current, and write a new route faster than they can count their nuts. It’s all part of the game, right?
