Captain's Log. October 8, 2010. Baltimore. I appear to be near our neighborhood. There's a New York Fried Chicken. And a CVS. And a guy selling flowers and extremist conspiracy theory newspapers on the corner. Yes. We've got to be close. Wait, isn't that the park where we set up that tent that one time? Right. We are, in fact, nowhere near home. Must reevaluate landmarks used to indicate proximity to house. Previous markers have failed me. Also, not sure how to proceed in order to find road house is actually on. Hmmm. Must think. Signing off.
Captain's Log. October 8, 2010. Baltimore. Aha! Have found answer in technology. GPS believes we are a mere 10 miles and 16 turns away from our destination. Hope restored. Off.
Captain's Log. 56 minutes later. Baltimore. 3 miles left. GPS appears to be tired. Turned several moments ago and screen shows vehicle floating across Druid Lake. Nowhere near Druid Lake. Oh wait, there it is. But definitely still not driving on it. Should pull over to give GPS time to think. Off.
Captain's Log. 4 minutes later. Reverted to basic navigation skills. Must drive roughly towards sun. Off.
Captain's Log. Right. Forgot Baltimore is not on grid system. Impossible to follow roads logically. Very frustrated. New thought, must get to I-95. Must get to logical city. Must get out of Baltimore. Off.
Captain's Log. 2 minutes later. Oh. Found the house. Bugger. Stuck in Baltimore. Off.
