I was driving and Karen navigating when we got to the city of La Junta. This is usually a bad combination. I had set my navigator to La Junta, and then I thought I had changed it to the Econolodge in La Junta. So Karen was reading the digital map, who was also giving me directions. Have you ever tried to go to A Town? The navigator tried to get me into the center of town. The center. I went around a block twice before I figured out that we didn't have a proper destination. So I pulled over and took my phone, and re-set it to the motel. But its directions, in this town with new and old roads at various angles sent us into a rail yard. I stopped and checked the map again. This time, I put it in my visual memory. After that, it was easy. But, as we have not driven much at all since the pandemic began, this second 400 mile day in a row was exhausting.
