Yet Another Visit to the Red Head's Birthplace


Our strange little detour in Scranton

So, Eric and I are off to another Lucy festival in Jamestown, NY. We met after work, in Somerville, and headed to Scranton, where we had a reservation at a Super 8 Motel. After eating at a Perkins in Stroudsburg, we headed up to Scranton.

After a two-hour drive, we found ourselves at the odd confluence of routes 81, 84, and 380. We followed the Internet-based instructions to the Super 8 to the letter and found ourselves in a cul-de-sac after making a series of right and left turns around the perimeter of a graveyard.

We called the hotel and apparently we were off by just a few miles.

The moral of the story: Do a reality check when using Internet maps.
