I'm glad I spent a lot of time in the BSA in the early seventies.

At the tender age of 11.5, I was taught how to read a paper map as I had to "navigate" for my Mother as she took me and my younger brother out west for 6 weeks.
Our Dad was with us the first 2 weeks (Denver, Royal Gorge, Black Canyon of the Gunnison, Mesa Verde, Grand Canyon, Las Vegas, Lake Mead, & Disneyland), then we spent 4 weeks out there - just the 3 of us.  Hearst Castle at San Simeon, SF, Yosemite, King's Canyon & Sequoia, Wupatki Indian ruins in norther AZ, Sunset Crater, Arches, and Canyonlands, then home.

Talk about "memories" !!

So, your house wears a tinfoil hat.

Yep. Saves me having to wear one, unless I go outdoors.
