How far out of the way did you drive before you realized you were going the wrong way?

This is not a good question for me because I love maps.  I’m a map fiend.  I have maps hanging on my office wall.  I collect Gazetteers.  I LOVE maps.  Not just love them, but I “heart” them as well.

The farthest I have gone before realizing I missed my exit was… as I was passing the right exit (“SONOFABITCH!”)… and about a quarter of a mile after I realized I missed a turn.

Thank goodness for my Mom teaching me about landmarks before I could even drive.  Thanks, Mom!

How about you, Dear Readers?
