Thanks for a great description of the trials of finding the Chook. I'll look again with a new understanding of how, where, and what to look for.
I especially liked the phrase "star hoping". Whether it was a typo or a deliberate Alex-ism it perfectly describes my newbie efforts at finding my way around. A lot more hoping than accurate hopping.
