I would go W-NW with the scout. The hill won't reveal anything extra to the north because of the Peak and plains hill NE if that GH

So it ends up being a 4-tile desert. Kinda ugly to work around when we start expanding...
 Next turn I'll head NW and then probably W onto the hill to start the rotation around to the SW. Unless I see anything of particular interest to the north that I want to see first.
Looks like some people are getting techs from huts. As I think it's too early for anyone to have researched a tech. Mackoti got a score increase at the turn flip 2 turns ago though (3880BC) so that one I'm not too sure about. But could be a border pop that got a hut. ReallyEvilMuffin got an increase to 35 during his last turn, and plako just got one during this turn. I'll be a little sad if we don't get a tech out of our hut. Logging in now to play our turn which will be getting the hut....cross your fingers...
Well, that was crappy....not even a good sized amount of gold.
  Oh well. Here's the layout of our land after the border pop gives us more visibility. Because of that desert to the north, we're definitely want to settle our next city somewhere in the south. So need to get that scout moving outward to pick the best spot. 
What is your planned scout movement next? NW-SW and SW look like the only real choices, and I think SW looks better onto the forest hill looks best
Yeah, I was kinda thinking about the SW too. The other option is SE-SW...and then SW-SW after that, possibly. That's what I was thinking of originally, but the more I think about it, it's probably not all that great. So SW, and then SW-? after that is probably best.

Here's the new land layout.
 Kinda tough decision here. Do I head westward with the scout? Or SW and explore along that coast while heading back east? I'm currently leaning towards going down to the coast, since I was originally thinking I'd want the 2nd city to be somewhere down there. But it's almost starting to look like there could be a good amount of jungle down there which would be a bit annoying for awhile. Though I would kind of like to know what is east of those Cows. Since getting a city that could use the Cows and share one of the Clams might be a good start for the second city.
Nothing particularly new to report this turn, other than that I decided to head along that southwest coast and then back east through that fog and eventually end up NE of those Cows. So no screenshot yet, as all I really uncovered was that grassland in the fog north of the Pig. This past turn we finished Mining and have started BW. We are currently #1 in GNP and #3 in Food.
