There is a fine distinction between driving around aimlessly for fun and driving around aimlessly because you are lost beyond all get-out.
There's also a fine line between clever and stupid, but that is neither here nor there.
I decided to take a little drive tonight, and had I bothered to read the local papers or listen to the local news, I would have known that the river was at an exceedingly high level, with threats of flood everywhere, meaning that roads along the Delaware would be closed.(Granted, I could have gathered this myself, with the huge amount of rain we've had these last few days.)
Of course I didn't know, so that's where I went. First, the road was closed leading into New Hope from the south on the PA side. I took a left, and then another left, thinking I'd eventually circle back.
Not quite. I think I ended up in one of the Makefields (either upper or lower). I don't know what road I was on, but I did eventually find signs for 95. Phew. A total of 75 miles round trip later...
You know, all I really wanted was ice cream, and I could have done that just as well in Princeton. Damn the temptation that is Dilly's!
