Not only is Orion one of my favorites, it also became my salvation one evening. I was on a bicycle trip down the coast of Kalifornia. I had maps galore, but back then no map was perfect. Hwy 1, the coast road, would at times move inward off the actual coast. One evening it was getting dark. I was not “turned around” compass wise, but it was unfamiliar. Orion started to rise above the horizon, and I verified my location and the night’s campsite.
