adventures with Lauryna

Saturday I made a journey with my best friend Lauryna to Davis which was about 108 miles away from our starting locale according to the almighty mapquest.  This journey had sweat, almost tears, but no blood.  

First off delays.  I didn't realize I had so many comics that it took forever to load them in Lauryna's Montero.  Secondly my dad called and asked me to feed the cows at my grandfather's house.  After all of that 30 seconds of labor I worked up a hunger which lead to our third delay which was Jack in the Box.

Ok after filling my belly we were off to Davis, or so we thought.  We followed mapquest's directions to a tee but since my printer was broke I wrote them down by hand without the mileage not that I really pay attention to the mileage to the tenth of a mile which clearly in this case was a mistake. 

Directions said to take Richards Blvd and it turned into E street.  Turn onto 5th Street from there.  The issue here is there is a Richard Blvd about 5 to 10 minutes earlier than the one I needed, to further the confusion it also essentially was an E street connected to numbered streets.  After being lost for an hour trying to get to 5th street via different twists and turns on various one way streets, and yelling exchanged between Lauryna and I we realized oh crap wrong town.  Got back on I 5 called the comic guy and he said yea there was two Richards Blvd exits and we took the wrong one.  We arrived sold the comics and it was a good day.

Moral of the story rely on the exact mileage next time
