Lost and Found

It was such a nice day yesterday that Jason and I decided to skip the gym and go for a little walk. We drove up to the Klahanie QFC and enjoyed a ramble through the greenbelt. When we arrived at the end of the path we decided to circle back on the road to the car thinking it would be faster.

It would have been had we turned the correct direction. You know me, so you know that we went the wrong way. As you can see by my beautiful map that the plain blue path is the route we had planned, but the pink is the way we went.

We realized we were closer to home and that route had sidewalks whereas to circle back to the car would have meant a narrow shoulder on a road where the posted speed limit is 35, but 50 is the norm. As it was getting dark we opted to get the other car and then drive back to retrieve the Camry.

On the positive side, it was a much better workout than we had planned and we decided that before we head off to the Canadian Rockies for a hike on our honeymoon that a hand held North American GPS device is in our future. We don't want our story to end 4 days after the wedding with us walking into the Rockies and never coming back.
