Can't get lost

When one travels the roads of America they are going somewhere by design or by happenstance. Either way to avoid getting lost one should always have some form of guidance. We have a built in compass on our rig. Of course there are maps and we depend on the truckers map first. Then there are state maps one can get at any information station when they enter a state. One should take a look at all the functions they can find in that state for the time period they will be there.

We back that up with The Next Exit, a must have. We've also discovered that it's nice to have Wal-Mart's book to get directions to these hidden gems of provisions and rest. And then to top all of the above off we have Microsoft's Streets and Maps and the TrailerLife Campground Finder. Hook them up to your GPS and there is no way one can get lost.

Ha! I've used all of these and have been lost more times than I can recall. They are accurate. The co-pilot, wife or me, are not always that good. One can be in the wrong lane of traffic and can't get into the correct lane and whoops, we're going the wrong way. Down narrow roads where a U turn is impossible - - -but you do it some how. Or being told by Alice, that's what we call our direction finder, to make a turn on a one way street - - - the wrong way.

You make some nice discoveries this way and some of them you would rather not make. Especially the ones on narrow muddy roads or hills that were built for mountain goats or paved roads that turn to dirt roads that turn into paths.

That's why my final back up is our biz card which says, We're Lost and We really Don't Care
