That was the only trouble I had, I was about half way there, and I thought I would make up for the time lost. Not so. Enter the thunderstorm. With blinding rain and lots of lighting. You think lightening would have helped me see in the dark, but it doesn't. Every time the flashes stopped, it was pitch black and I couldn't tell where I was. Yeah, it was pitch black because while I was on Bowie Mill Road, the power went out. It was freaky. It got incredibily dark and I thought one of the powerlines was gonna fall down on me. That didn't happen, but it could have. It could have.
I then found the next road, after driving back and forth on Bowie Mill Rd for an eternity, because I couldn't make out any road signs, it was so stormy, I found the next road, Muncaster Mill Rd. Repeat what happened to me on Bowie Mill Rd. Luckily the rain lightened up and I eventually made it to Shadey Grove Rd and from there I was at Stacey's house. The next big hurdle was reversing the directions and going home, but that would just be repeating almost the same process I just told you, so I won't talk about that. Except that I had realized on the way home that Olney Lancaster Rd is really Route 108 and I could just take that road back to Route 32 then 29, then home. Much better than the stupid directions Yahoo gave me. Don't ever use Yahoo Maps.
And oh yeah, I did not get into any accidents or get pulled over by any cops. I thought about beeping my car horn when I the sign to Bowie Mill pointed at a private residence, to attract cops, but changed my mind. I just used my cell to call my friend's friend to get better directions.
Don't ever use Yahoo! Maps.
MapQuest.com.
ReplyDeleteDONT TRUST YAHOO MAPS!!!
ReplyDeleteI have gotten lost sooo many times because of them. I need to find new map service.
Aren't mapquest and yahoo maps the same service? I mean, doesn't Yahoo just use the map quest data?
ReplyDeleteyahoo only uses the maps from mapquest I believe. You can always get AAA they have good directions and more accurite
ReplyDeleteyahoo does the same thing here... the street is named State St. but yahoo calls it Highway 44 even though it doesn't turn into hwy 44 until after another street it does that... Eagle rd. becomes hwy 55... anyway... long story short... yahoo is just stupid.
