Placement Q form, 6:00 zones?

Post by LowePro » Tue Mar 01, 2016 4:34 pm

Hiya,
Looking at the Placement questionnaire, for the requested neighborhood is lists "6:00 Rod's Road" and "6:00 Inner Plaza"
Not sure exactly what the Inner Plaza is, on the city map I see Rod's Road and then the rest of the outer roads, which I would call an Outer plaza. Or does Inner Plaza mean center camp and Rod's Road is the outer ring? Thanks for clarification if anyone knows some details. I'll check w/ Placement too .

I am not placement, but according to the MOOP map, this is correct:

When he puts out his lamp, he sends the flower, or the star, to sleep.
That is a beautiful occupation.

Me three! I can find my way in the dark anywhere easily but even in broad daylight with a map in my hands I get screwed up in there every time.

I agree! "Didn't I just pass that thing a few minutes ago? Where the heck am I? It should be right here, where is it?" and then it's, "Oh crap. I've been going exactly the wrong direction."

Gosh I'm soooooooo glad I'm not the only one. I always felt so silly going in circles in there.

So. I had friends camped somewhere in the 'Burnmuda Triangle'. It was a bright pink camp with 2 motorhomes. A great bar streetside and a huge movie screen for evening viewing. Somedays it was like they had blinked to an alternate universe. Nowhere to be found. Then they would be back the next day. After awhile I just accepted it. Some year I'll conquer the maze.

I'm nudging this over to the Building Camps & Villages board, since I think that's a better fit for questions about building camps and villages.

+1 to both BoyScoutGirl's answer and to all the general confusion and getting of lost in that vortex. I'm usually pretty good with directions and navigation in the city, but always end of having the toughest time getting to the places I'm trying to go in that plaza.

Oh yeah, we got lost in that maze last year. "Oh just go down Rod's Road, it'll be on the right side" ... Only now, looking at the picture above, do I realize it happens to be a circle.
