well, i might be a geography major, and i might be able to tell you that map with a ratio of 1:24,000 will likely be inaccurate by about 124m, however that does NOT mean i can read maps or remember directions! last night, there was a benefit for robin's family in vonda. so at 5:30, elke and i set out to pick helen up from work (she had been released from work early). She was a bit perturbed at our lateness, however, we soon had her and following the directions ally had given us we set out into the great black and snowy night. we did manage to make it aberdeen through the given directions, however after driving down some highway in the direction of vonda, i remembered something about two aberdeen signs and a turn off the highway and....well that was all we had from the combination of my memory and the directions. anyway, we ended up driving down numerous wrong roads, and spending many moments trying to decipher a road map that did indeed prove itself to be slightly inaccurate (maybe 124m inaccurate). eventually, an hour late, we did arrive in vonda and were able to at least be there for the talking part of the night. i'm glad we made it there for that. afterwards we returned home incredibly hungry and made some delicious pizzas. yum, yum.
