Exploration-s23w5/Track Signs.

Hello everyone, good morning to you all and welcome back to my blog. I'm so glad participating in the Exploration challenge.
Definition of Track Sign

This can be defined as the art of following the tracks left by persons, animals or things movement.

Locate 3 natural trails and 3 artificial trails in your area and explain what each of them is about.
  • Trees

    These is one of the natural tracks signs used in identifying a Location. If you're used to a particular place, you can tell you're in a particular Location by a particular tree.

  • Car tyre Trails

    This is another natural Track Sign that can be used to recognize a place easily. For instance if you're pointing out directions to someone, you can tell the person to stop where he sees a Car tyre Trail.

  • Cut Tree Trunk

    These is another natural Track Sign you can use to identify a location. I can still remember missing my way when I traveled to the Village for Christmas holiday. What helped me to remember my way was a chopped tree trunk I saw when I was coming initially and it helped me to find my way. These things really helps.

Artificial Track Sign
  • Pharmacy

    This is a sign post of a Pharmaceutical Store, it can equally be used to illustrate direction.

  • School

    This is another track sign. You can use the name of a School to give someone direction.

  • Church

    This is another Artificial Track Sign. You can equally use the name of a Church to give someone direction.

Explain in your own words the path you followed, the elements you used, and where you arrived

So I started the Track from my home. According to the Teacher we were asked to use the "#" sign to signify the start of the track which I used four sticks to illustrate. After I walked for about 3 minutes, I turned the left side and I used the "cross left" sign to illustrate it. I used a ❌ sign to illustrate the wrong way on the right side and forward to show the right way. I turned left again and I used the "cross left" sign to indicate it. I continued moving until and I reached a T- junction. I placed an ❌ on the left side because it was the wrong way and a "forward sign" on the right way because it was the right way. I trekked for 2 minutes and made a turn. Again I used the "forward sign" to illustrate the way I took. I kept on trekking on the straight road until I got to a straight and left turn. I placed the "cross left sign" to show that I took left and ❌on the straight road. The Pizza point was on the Left that I took and I placed the "end of the track sign.

What did you think of this week's homework? Did you know you could leave clues in a very simple way? Was this course easy for you to complete? What was the most difficult part, and what did you learn?

Honestly I didn't know I could leave clues in simple ways like this. I have heard about this In moonlight stories where a person was able to trace a pathway because of Track Signs but I didn't know it was possible until this class.
Honestly I found this week's task interesting and challenging. Interesting because I got to learn a new thing. Challenging because I stay in the city and it was difficult finding some of the natural Track Sign. But I glad I learnt about the Track Sign.

Thanks for reading through my post, I invite @chilaw, @aspiya and @ukpono to participate in this contest.
