I used to use a grease pencil on the windscreen Tracy before I bought a GPS

Some of the best rides are the ones with a "tad bit of confusion" regarding directions

That there is what you call "adventure riding" Larry.


I have often used the "Hey man" navigation system on those kind of rides.


Stop for gas, see some guy, and say, "Hey man. Where the hell am I?"

When I am riding around my home state, unless I have a planned destination I just head out in a direction. When it is time to go home I hit "Go Home" on the GPS so I am really never lost.
