I have been known to do heads or tails rides...come to an intersection or fork in the road, flip a quarter; heads you go right, tails you go left, then when you get ready you find your way back home. Works better here on the east coast where not all the roads are laid out on a grid like they were in Iowa
However in some ways that was probably better for finding your way home.
