Jeff Bartlett wrote:I agree wholeheartedly on both counts:
A. Sketching from memory with no survey is inevitably inaccurate. As a rule, don't do it.
B. No one cares when it's a 40-foot rat hole in Ohio (WV, however, deserves better).
That said, why spend 10 minutes sketching from memory when you can just spend an additional 5 minutes recording the two azimuths that would be required to orient this correctly?
