Another travel day, drove
down the 101 to San Luis Obispo. We had reservations at the SLO Army Base
FamCamp. It was a beautiful day, although a little on the warm side, but things
were going well until we were within about 3 miles of the base.
We were of course
following the instructions of our GPS, which I think needs to be taken in for a
complete overhaul!! We are driving down
the road, I have the written instructions in my hand that say we should take a
left in a couple of miles. The GPS pops up with “turn right in 450’” so Phil
turns right. I look to my left and there is a sign that says ‘California Men’s
Penal Colony’, meanwhile the GPS has said that we need to take a left turn and
Phil does so. Now we are at the end of this road and there is a barricade
across the road and we are frantically looking for some way to turn this 56’ of
truck and trailer around and get the heck out of there. We found a lot big
enough to turn it around…at last…and we are just about out of there and up pops
the security guard!! He wants to know what we are doing and why we are there,
so we explain the whole GPS thing and he says it happens all the time and tells
us how to get to the base. So embarrassing!!
