When the Waze lady told us to get off I-95 yesterday she ended up taking us past this place.

It was strange, we were on I-95 with thousands of cars backed up then all of a sudden we were alone on this back road chosen by Waze.

Why didn't Waze send others this way? I don't know. A lot of other people got off I-95 at that exit, bumper to bumper in fact, but then they all turned left, Waze had us turn right.

We drove past this Antique/Junk store that seemed to be located in a train yard. The road was winding and beat up, we were going maybe 15 MPH. It caught my attention as we drove past and I almost stopped to look around, maybe next time.

The Confederate soldier was peculiar in that he was ever ready to fight, but never ready to submit to the routine duty and discipline of the camp or the march. The soldiers were determined to be soldiers after their own notions, and do their duty, for the love of it, as they thought best. Carlton McCarthy

Are you part Jewish maybe? Most favored of Waze?

Cool story. Surprises me how many people don't use navigation when they know where they are going. They forget that an accident or bad traffic changes things.

I trust Waze and yet she to feel burned by her decisions.

Love those funky out-of-the way places like this.

That is the fun of the back roads. I much prefer them as I am seldom in such a hurry that I can't enjoy the journey. if you have a longer trip I highly recommend the US highways over freeways. A little slower but so much more relaxed and fun.
