Maps

Many of us used AAA maps whenever we travelled out of state or province years ago. Today the GPS has replaced the old paper maps we all relied on at one time. Some even have a "Maps and Streets" program in their computer, allowing them to get a route and print out directions for any destination in North America.

Thats what Don did when we left the cottage last weekend. Since we didn't have a GPS or paper map, Don used his computer to print out directions for the shortest route home. Now, some of the roads had us scratching our heads and wondering if we were lost but we obediently continued to follow the directions and did indeed arrive home sooner than expected.

I wasn't sure if this was a road or a farmer's lane, but off we went and didn't get stuck. Not sure if I would have been so brave if we were pulling our trailer. These programs do make mistakes.

Our route took us through rural Quebec ..................................

over bridges ........................................

across dams ..............................

down more country roads .........................................

...................... until we were finally back in Bancroft.

 Reminded me of the trip we took last February with Mike and Sheri and Mike (the navigator) had no idea where we were.

Travel safely and keep your maps handy.
