Navigational Narration or Native Navigation

I'm writing a supplement to the Geocache post, and adding the term NN, for Navigational Narration or Native Navigation.  This refers to the process of creating a story to get from one place to another, hence the update.  If you don't use a formal written language, and rely on oral history communication, a story of getting from place to place is a logical outcome.  As this all refers back to caching, think of a story of the things you would find from your recliner to the cookie jar.  I myself would emerge from my chair and turn towards the mountains, and cross the linoleum expanse of the plains of the gathering zone, passing by the canine font and eatery, along the cliffs of despair, past the frozen food repository and near the bread burning device to find the receptacle of sugary goodness. (the cliffs of despair would be on the counter where the bills accumulate! You should be able to figure out the rest of the landmarks.)

Just remember, every where you go, a story is just waiting to be recorded and told!
