Directions

I generally use Google Maps for route planning.  I’ve found they are usually more accurate than Mapquest.

Not this trip.  So far, Google has been wrong, or at least mapped the most inconvenient possible route, over 30% of the time. 

One campground host told me Garmin GPS was worse -  Garmin had their campground out in the middle of a pasture almost five miles north of their actual location.

Two points:

  • I have a whole new respect for explorers.  Of course Lewis & Clark had Sacajawea.
  • What do people with a poor sense of direction ( and no cell phone) do?  Just stay lost?
