[hmmmmm]

I looked at the maps and tried to compare it to this intersection. This one is facing almost due east isn't it?

Please don't refer me to the weather maps, they confuse me horribly :).

Pretty close to due east...it's now on zoom though.

I'll still throw in some "northeast", but if you remember the other view, the road just north split and you could tell it was part of the loop on the "round".

But I think you are correct, more east.
