Strange fact: I own up to an odd fascination with maps. I'm no professionally trained cartographer, but for whatever reason I love maps. I can pour over an atlas looking at places I have never been and will likely never go. Weeks and months before a major road trip I begin to stake out my routes, the topography, the layout of the city. There is never a trip that goes by where I do not consult the atlas or Google maps and I know exactly what I am going to do. Another strange fact: The long drive I make most often (my cornfield to the Music City) is also the only trip I've ever gotten lost on. I made a wrong turn. A big wrong turn. I started driving home on the wrong interstate. As it turned out this accidental route wasn't that much slower but it had a unexpected advantage over our pre-planned route...Chick-fil-a!!!
