Of course I maintained that it was completely intentional. I was just looking for a more scenic route. It wasn't.

They weren't any worse then the main roads. BUT in my wisdom of age, I now don't do that much any more. <br />The worst was the road? actually a goat path, from Creel down to Batopilas - 6 hours to go 90 miles. NEVER EVER again......learned my lesson!

I did it once. Probably would never do it again....in fact, doubt I'll ever drive in Europe again.

The only problem was occasionally when we came to a town we wouldn't know which street leading off of the main square was the continuation of the highway. We would stop and ask someone and be on our way.<br /> <br />The place where we always got lost was in England. We had a GPS in our rental car. On our first day, trying to find our hotel in Reading, the GPS led into the parking garage of the shopping mall. The device then kept telling us "Turn around!". However it was a circular gsrage and we had to go all the way to the top before we could turn around. We finally found our way to the hotel on our own. The next morning, the GPS was dead and we couldn't recharge it. The rest of the trip we relied on road maps. But hardly a day went by that we didn't make a wrong turn somewhere!

I LOVE paper road maps plus the mental acuity (most of the time) to follow the signs. <br />I have no need or desire for a GPS.<br />Besides, a friend used his to come to SMA and it lead him into a rutted field with no roads! So much for science or electronics or however they work.<br />Thanks for sharing......Babshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16609157345912932083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34246214.post-41620299271954481532014-05-28T12:50:09.290-05:002014-05-28T12:50:09.290-05:00Love those road trip "mistakes".

Once in Guadalajara a man and his son lead us right across the city to find the road to the RV park. Another time a bus driver went off his route in Villahermosa to lead us back onto the highway north. Neither of these gentlemen would take any money fro their trouble.<br /><br />Other times Norma has jumped into a cab and had him lead us to where we were going or, more important, out of where we should not have been in the motorhome!Crofthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17634815881045387152noreply@blogger.com
