We were down in Murrieta, California for a little vacation.  We both had a couple of days off from work, so we thought that we would go down there for a visit.  Some of our close friends had moved there and we hadn’t had a chance to visit them.

Before we went on the trip, I purchased a new GPS.  You know, one of those gadgets that let you leave your map at home.

Well, it should be like that in theory…

We reached the outskirts of Murrieta, and pulled over to the side of the road for a break.  Well, it was more of a diaper change as our baby had a bit of an accident on the trip.  After cleaning up the mess, we jumped back in the car, and the GPS just wouldn’t work.

Well, it sort of worked.  It would show us the city of Murrieta, but nothing else.

We were in a pickle and pulled over at the nearest service station.  There, a clerk was nice enough to give us a copy of the RAAS that had Murrieta maps in it.

Thankfully we made it to our friend’s house.  If it wasn’t for that great magazine, I don’t know what we would have done.
