Looking North to Walla Walla. Siri got us lost.
Still lost, but having fun. We even forgot to bring our good cameras.
On Friday, Ann scheduled a VA appointment in Walla Walla. Making the 45 minute trip there usually entails lunch, a visit to the Bread Company, and then a drive home. However, since I’d never been to Milton-Freewater, Oregon, we decided to extend the trip to include a drive into our neighboring state and return home along the Columbia River.
This is an overview of our route
This is a more detailed look at it.
All was going well, until I asked SIRI to guide us from Walla Walla to Milton-Freewater. While I generally knew that MF was to the south of us, I didn’t know exactly where. So, I gave SIRI a chance to shine. At first she seemed confident, ordering us right, then left, then right, then left, until we were heading south on some rural roads toward the hills.
Soon, we were climbing, first on paved roads, then on gravel roads, then on rocky roads. Yet, SIRI didn’t give up. She continued to have a path mapped out. We assumed it was some kind of short cut. Thankfully, Henry (the jeep) surmounted every obstacle in his path.
