Just saw a quick blip about a couple followed their GPS down road they should have never been on and were stranded several days in their 23 foot motorhome. They stayed with the motorhome. So OK unlike many that light out on foot. Search and Rescue found them and got them out. Report was from Roseburg Oregon. Did not see more and am leaving so can not search for more. Any one got time to see if they can find the storie?? Thanks...

I pretty much know the road they went on.....I wouldn't have taken my car on it...GPS or no. Would be interesting to find out what GPS they have....mine doesn't show FS roads.

A GPS is not a substitute for common sense or reading a map

that's not being stranded... that is boondocking.... ;)

People should read the directions on their GPS. ;) Mine will take me on a forestry road if I set it to cross country. It also might take me there if I set it to shortest distance, but I keep mine set to quickest time and have no problems. Just because you have the clutch in on the GPS doesn't mean you can disengage brain.
