Heh - try single pilot operations in Africa in the days before GPS. If you were new to the reserve finding the correct game lodge strip twice out or three is good. After a year getting it wrong once a week is about average, there is always one that you hav'nt beeen to for a few months.
Nowadays they are probably doing better with GPS but one dirt strip in the bush next to a few huts will still look like many others.
