> Thanks for the help, but now I'm in the dark desert, and I've been wandering around in the dark for what seems like ages. I've tried drawing a map, but an artist I am not, and this only lead me into being more confused. I wonder why they give you a map if you can't see it because it's so dark? Did you get past this part? And if so, how did you do it? I sure could use a bit of help here. hahahaha, actually I could use a huge amount of help. And thank you again. I just love these games. I hope someday to be the one helping others as well.

This is currently where I am.

Outlaws of the Sierra Nevadas
You are somewhere in the desert. You think you see a sagebrush bush to your right. It looks familiar, and you suddenly wonder if you've been riding in circles.

Go north.
Go northeast.
Go east.
Go southeast.
Go south.
Go southwest.
Go west.
Go northwest.
