I used to pride myself on being able to find my way around most of at least LA and Orange counties. But I have some clear memories of pulling over into a parking lot or under a street light to study the Thomas Guide and figure out my next few turns.
Like the rest of you, I've become pretty dependent on GPS. It's certainly much more efficient! When we're going somewhere different every day, it's probably not likely we'll be giving it up. But I might try to use it less, and my brain a bit more, when it's not needed... |
