Hey, have you ever tried mapping a route that looks all over the place but actually gets you to the best hidden cave in the woods? I’ve got a left‑turn‑only trick that would make any GPS throw its hands up in the air. Wanna hear the story?

Alright, so first I find the big oak that’s the only landmark in that part of the woods, then I turn left at the stone that looks like a giant beetle, and keep going until the moss starts looking like a secret map. From there, every left turn takes me closer to the cave’s mouth, which is tucked behind a fallen log that looks like a sleeping dragon. The trick? When the trail splits, I never go right—if I do, I end up at the wrong side of the stream and have to climb the other hill, which I’d rather avoid. I keep a notebook of every left‑turn route I’ve tried, even the ones that led me to a pond of frogs that sang in my head. Stick to the left, and you’ll find the cave, or at least a great story about why GPS can’t handle my sense of adventure.
