When I got my training in Ohio, I was never taught to use the furrow/fence lines in navigation, and I never even noticed that they could be useful for such. Once I started instructing in California, I happened to notice they can be really helpful in navigating, and I now can't imagine trying to navigate without them. Not anywhere with mountains. Here in PA the fence lines are more random and a function of terrain rather than magnetic direction. Matt
