yahoo maps will rue the day
So I took a trip this past weekend. Not the first time I have made the trip but I had direction there and back nonetheless. From point A to point B with a few steps inbetween and the reverse to get home. Sounds simple enough. I always get there fine with the A to B part but sure enough every time I fuck up the return trip. Usually I miss the turn I am looking for and end up riding 422 into Hershey. No biggie just the trip is a bit longer time and mileage wise. This time being a little over anxious I turned too soon and ended up on the Business route of 222. Thanks yahoomaps for that warning. Curse you and your vague and often cryptic directions. Well I thought to myself, if I keep heading west how lost can I get right? Well after 15 minutes and nothing to help to reassure you that all is well you would prolly turn around, especially if you had a passenger that wanted you to do just that. I was alone so I pressed on into the unknown. I was commited to the idea that the only way I would ask for directions is if I would have to by act of God have to stop for gas. This in mind I admired the towns I was passing through wondering to myself "Where the fuck am I?". I then saw a sign for Rt. 61. I had heard of that road. So on a whim I took it. Much time passed before I found out that I had somehow guessed corrected and was indeed on the path homeward.
I finally reached my house somehow only having driven 7 extra miles than the trip out. My return took close to 2 hrs, which is way longer than it should have taken. In about 4 to 6 weeks time I hope to have another shot at getting it right.
