[Ansteorra] Collision of Caravans

[Stefan li Rous]

Thank you, Tivar. After your first, minimal comment, I was wondering if there was a story behind that…

With all three sources saying the same thing, I'm certain that we'd have made the same mistake.

That road turned into a gravel road which ended in someone's front yard about a quarter-mile from where we wanted to be. The only way to proceed fron there was on foot or *maybe* in a 4-wheel drive vehicle; there was no road--all the maps lied.

I've also heard stories of people's GPS units routing them through lakes or on gravel roads over mountain passes in the middle of winter. So, yeah, don't totally trust the GPS.
