I've been looking for a land nav class and not had much luck.  There is one in Olympia this spring that doesn't fit my schedule.  Anybody here ever taken a class?  If so where?  Thanks in advance.

An orienteering class might be suitable. I think REI offers them, you just have to tolerate yuppies and smelly hippies.

For reading material try "be expert with map and compass" by Kjellstrom, it's the classic orienteering reference.

Here's a free copy of the Army manual: http://www.enlisted.info/field-manuals/fm-21-26-map-reading-and-land-navigation.shtml
