The joys of GPS

We learned an important lesson regarding having blind trust in your GPS unit. When we left Sequoia National Park we needed to get to L.A. to visit with Pastor Paul. When we knew we were close to the exit we just told the GPS to go there and didn't bother verifying the route with the atlas. It turns out that the GPS decided that the quickest route was a road that started with 40 miles of twists and turns that would make a snake proud. The route I would have taken if I had used the atlas had about 10 miles of twisty roads and then nothing but straight highway. Not double-checking the GPS probably cost us close to an extra hour of travel time, not to mention coming close to getting everyone in the car sick. AAARRGHH!!
