Somewhere between Alongshan and the top of the mountain

Road signs, building landmarks, maps and GPS systems. These are all methods that modern drivers rely on for navigation. Without these, up a mountain, the only option is to ask for directions. Unfortunately, after encountering one serious cyclist and a lone worker guarding camp over the winter (who appeared not to have seen any humans for a while), no more help was to be received. It makes me wonder, when did we become so dependent on these artifical forms of navigation? When did we become so removed from the natural environment and lose the ability to navigate using the sun, stars and the mountains?

The destination was never found, but the journey was filled with spectacular scenery. Where modern man may have lost the ability to navigate using nature, it is impossible for him to forget how to be in awe of such natural beauty.
