  • My own GPS mishaps have been a bit more amusing.... Once while driving on River Road, I fired up the Google maps GPS on the phone to try to determine where to go next. Apparently I had passed through a space-time portal without knowing it, because the GPS insisted that I was in France........ Another time, Salinas became the North Sea, and Monterey became Palo Alto. Other times it has worked perfectly. But because it's so spotty in its reliability, I try to always have a good old-fashioned paper map on hand....

    Any update on the bad biker dude?

  • Unbelievable! I remember that section of road from when I used to drive the kids to school down Plaskett. Super Duh!

  • Once many Julys ago a Jersey Rent-abego with 4 kids, mom and a very beligerant driver confronted the Harlan clan...cursing the awful nature of Hwy One, swearing relentlessly, demanding directions to a shorter route to 101...whereupon Harlan sent him over Naciemento...next AM the CB call was out for 2 wreckers...Jersey had wrapped his ride around the redwood at the first hairpin and was stuck overnight...wonder if he had a GPS.... I hava few more for later.
