GPS strikes again
Take one GPS add two incautious people get this: Mail I had to fight off the urge to tag those folks with something other than incautious.

Last summer, a buddy of mine from Atlanta had two weeks vacation and he wanted to do a 'cross country drive'. So, I said that I need to go to California to check on the house as I had new air units put in.
He drives up to TN and off we go out I-40 in my Land Rover. We get to Albuquerque on I-40 and the whole interstate is shut down west of town. My Land Rover has navigation but I wasn't sure exactly how to find a 'way around' so I went to a Pilot station and bought a new spiral-ringed map.
The girl at the counter said 'people still buy maps'? I laughed and said I like to look at the whole picture at one time and look at different routes.
We ended up going down I-25 south but turned off on hwy 60 to head west. Hwy 60 is two lane all the way to Phoenix but what a nice way to go as I've never been. Beautiful scenery.
If I had taken I-25 south to I-10 west, it would have taken us 100 miles out of the way.
Safe travels,
MM.
