You and a friend are planning on hiking separately and meeting at a lake neither of you have ever been to before. The map shows it to be a hilly area, with plenty of streams and trees.
You're sure you can find the lake, and walk around it if necessary, but visibility might be poor. Where should you arrange to meet to be sure of finding each other?
There is a simple solution to this problem, which outdoorsy types should be familiar with.

Im not going hiking with pleasance! by Jack Squat)
hikers have a compass, right?
agree to meet at the middle of one side of the lake,
say west for example, if you have to walk to find each
other, change direction when you are forced to turn
south or north might take some time but guaranteed
to work you are hiking for the exercise, right!
