Josh rubbed his face with his hand when he found out that Jinny couldn't read. He though for a moment the began. "good if you know numbers, then... " he reach back into his pack trying to find a pen. "I know I brought one." he said to no one in particular. As his hand searched his pack he finally found it. "there you are you sneaky devil." he pulled out the pin and gently took the map from Jinny. "okay." he said looking over the map. He began writing on the map and circling various Symbols with numbers. Once finished he crossed off two numbered places, 12 and 11, then handed the map back to Jinny. "there I have numbered the places we have to get through before we are out of the state. Each one counts down the number of places we have left. The cicles are the roads we have to take to get to them, and they are already numbered." he paused. "does that work?"

(that's okay, I have been busy lately.)
