Thanks again, NirvanaMan.

Happy to help. I remember playing around with Google Maps before leaving between meetings on Thursday. I was dragging around the route to see what made sense. Knowing that 198 wasn't a good route, I was seeing what I could do. Then I discovered the 63 which looked pretty solid. I texted Chris but he was unaware of the route. When we were on the way, Lisa called from one of the last pay phones in existence and we had a long and barely audible conversation. Clearly they must not maintain these quaint antiquities anymore.

After we disconnected, Aud asked me, "What did Lisa say?" "Well, I think she told me that I definitely shouldn't go the 63 and that it was a terrible route, despite cutting 30 miles off the trip." "You were on for a while" noted Aud. "What else did she say?" Well, she went on about how bad the route was, gave some helpful advice about where the campsite was and the like, then at the end, asked me again what road I was thinking of taking. I told her it was the 63. Lisa asked 'What's that?'"

"So what are you going to do?"

"Umm, I'm going to take the 63."
