Apparently, Choppy is old school when it comes to roadmaps.

Travels with Choppy 
Hey Choppy. Put the map down. Get the GPS from Schooner, and borrow one of the Travel Bits books from your mom. I guarantee, you won’t get lost, and you’ll have a great time. P.S. bring lots of cat food. Schooner builds up quite an appetite, while programming the GPS.

I had to work to find a map for this one – but then again, I am well-known for getting on the road without any map, so mostly I just don’t use anything to find my way around.

A problem that seems even more difficult to solve when in a car (this difficulty increases exponentially as the size of the car decreases).

It’s not a route he wants to get lost on – Choppy is like a road bandit, always ready to jump in and take advantage of the situation (usually by stealing Schooner’s treats).

There are still places in the mountain, or in my area in TN, where you can’t get a cell phone signal, so, sometimes maps are needed. I think Choppy is just honing her skills for a much needed getaway! I do use GPS most places I go. The real time apps can direct you around accidents and detours. Paper maps can’t do that. Besides, when I was in the Air Force, one of my jobs was to help oversee the design and launch of the first GPS satellites, so I’m a little partial.

That must have been so cool to work on the GPS satellites – a lot of people owe you some thanks!

It was very cool! We were able to write our name, through a plastic bag onto a piece of the heat shield (so the impression of our name was on it) for one of the satellites. So, my name is in orbit. I think that’s pretty cool!

“Maps come with legends and insets, mileage scales, everything except instructions on how to fold them back up.” – unknown stand-up comic.
The Long Trailer:
LUCY: (looking at the road map as Desi is driving)(shouts:) “TURN RIGHT HERE!”
Desi makes a hasty, last-second turn with a 35-foot travel trailer in city traffic, cars honk at them.
LUCY: No! No! Left! Left!
DESI: What?! You said ‘TURN RIGHT HERE!”
LUCY: Well, you didn’t let me finish. I meant “TURN RIGHT HERE, LEFT.”

I do remember when road maps were actually a necessity. As were phone booths. Ahh.. technology marches on. I imagine Schooner and Choppy always know where they’re going…and their two-way communication is much more effective.
