Ya, most useless map EVAR (never use a map w/out an index/grid system). We even called Somna's gf for some google maps help, but to no avail. That was the liquour store checkpoint, so in the end I just said **** it and went somewhere else (had to insure beer availability for later on). That got me a DQ since I hit up the wrong liquor store, but even after all the wasted time trying to find the place and going to a completely different one, I think I ended rolling in third overall?
No too bad if you ask me for the first time out.
