The bottom right-hand corner is southwest. Although the journey from Anchorage to Nome is mostly northwest, there are some parts of the trail that will take a musher northeast. As you check in at Skwenta, Mt. McKinley is about 50 miles due north of where you are. You then travel the 45 miles to Finger Lake. We often use timelines because they make it easy to view many events spread out over a period of time.
Timelines are simple to make.
If you are creating a timeline of your life, start with the date of your birth at the left side of the line and add dates as they happened along the line. Remember to keep time and space relative. That is, distances along the timeline should be in relation to the time that has past. If you make another entry one inch to the right of the last entry, it should be 1982. In other words, if you are going to make one inch equal to a time span of one year keep it that way throughout the timeline.
