Human beings don't live on an island by themselves; they live in a society on which we all try to help each other survive and flourish. Our society has many parts to it. One of those parts involves culture and culture in our society involves sports of all kinds. In fact, many people do participate in sports in some way. We are familiar with baseball and football as sports; however, most people aren’t familiar with the sport called orienting.

For those of us that get lost in the parking lot of the local mall when trying to remember where we parked our cars, it would be very difficult to be an orienteer. Orienteering has been around since the late 1800's and it involves the ability to read a map, use a compass, and find your way through the wilderness. There is definitely no time to stop and ask directions when you are an orienteer.
