>You could try going to the less visited parts of the Forest of Magic, though that risks running into one of the dangerous pockets. Plus the potential pursuer is you anyway... a younger, less experienced you, but still you...
>The Bamboo Forest of The Lost will pretty much guarantee losing a pursuer unless they were following you really close.
>Being in an open area with no cover will deter pursuers unless you're really unobservant...

>You haven't been to many parts of Gensokyo at the age you were at this time, so a lot of its past geography is unknown to you.
>However, logically thinking, major landmarks like the Bamboo Forest of the Lost, The Garden of the Sun, Misty Lake, Youkai Mountain, and the Sanzu River should still be there.
>The Hakurei Shrine and the Human Village are definitely where they should be at this time.
>The Kourindou should exist at this time as well.
>You recall a lake full of blood somewhere in the mountains, however, your past self shouldn't discover it until about two years from now.
>The Myouren Temple and the Moriya Shrine definitely shouldn't exist in Gensokyo yet. However, you think that the Mausoleum that was underneath the Myouren Temple was there for a while, so it should be there at this time.
>Considering Kaguya is immortal, you think Eientei should exist at this time too.
>You're unsure about the state of the Underground at this time, as your first time down there was during the Geyser incident.
