Google doesn't map addresses in IA
Monday, Jul-23 @ 07:54 PM
Serena and I don't easily wake up at 6 am in the morning. So, we rarely get out of town before 8 am. Thus, we are arrive at our campsite at dusk each night. Getting to Humboldt was no different. This night, we are scheduled to stay at a friend of Kenny's house. We call at 9:30 pm, get some directions, and tell them we'll be there in the next 2 hours. You could tell that this couple is already in bed. (They thought we'd come in much earlier... Opps!)
I do have Internet access this night try to map our location. Its seems that most IA cities like to use numbers for street names. They also like to say "we're at NE 1st street just past SW 3rd street on the corner of 2nd N." This is natural to them; for me, I have no idea what they said. The street signs say "203 NE 1st St" but Google wants "203 1st St NE." That was murderous trying to figure that out while lost.
Fortunately, the house we were staying at, and the Tall Dog camp, was only 4 blocks apart. We got our stuff, got to the Duffy's house, let ourselves in, and got to sleep by 12:30 am.
