I guess a big part of what I mean is, do you really know all the roads in that area of the state well enough to know that the direction and distance are off? I could work it out eventually, but have no sense of what turns were taken to arrive at each. Presumably you can only go left or right at the intersection. Who knows what twisted path might land you at Paris in however many miles?

GPS has taken a lot of the fun out of the old "You can't get there from here" routine. ;-)

Well, props - I can't say the same, so I'll have to take your word for it.

My parents live up that way and one of my mom's hobbies is fantasizing about buying a farm, so I've spent quite a bit of time driving all over those back roads looking at property for sale with her.
