For those who are hopeless without GPS and find themselves panicked because you can’t get a cell signal to map your way home late at night on the country roads. Just remember “RRLRL” which for a dance follow is a step-hop on the right foot and a triple step. Right out of the lot, right onto Emerson Cook (just remember Einstein’s E=MC squared, 2 O’s), left at end, right onto Hwy 87, left onto 64E. Just dance your way home!
