  • Trust the signs! Yes, sometimes you might be circling around and it might feel as if you are going back in the direction you came or going away from the road your trying to follow. Don't worry. It's temporary. Do what the sign says and you'll come out where you were trying to go.
If all else fails, simply stop and look lost and confused. Someone will stop and point you in the right direction. It's The Villages way.
Pturner,

More great guidance, especially about the compass -- thank you. I will have to look for a compass this weekend. I wonder if an auto supply store or a sporting good store would carry a compass?
