#AWAdventure Day 2 Recap
28 Oct
In short, we suck! On Wednesday, Natalie Furniss who is running the Autoweek America Adventure told of a team one year that was headed somewhere completely different than they were supposed to be. The were headed to the Indiana Speedway instead of a smaller track in another town in a completely different direction. Well, this year we are that team. We had a clue about one of the most beautiful and natural habitats for pinnepeds. All of my search results came back with the Oregon Coast Natural Wildlife Refuge. John searched for it on Google Navigation and it gave us directions to some place that was about 40 minutes away. Well, we went and there was nothing there. Looking at the Oregon Coast Natural Wildlife Refuge’s website again we found that the place we thought we were going was actually in the opposite direction in Bandon, Oregon and more than 100 miles away. In order to make up time, we cut over to the interstate. It was taking forever and we were way past out alloted time. I looked at Twitter and saw our competitors talking about Sea Lion Caves in Florence, Oregon. Doh! If we had stayed on Highway 101, even thinking we were going to the wildlife refuge we could have stumbled onto the caves accidentally. A lot of time had passed and we got a call telling us that since we were so far off course that we should just go to the finish line. Here we sit like kids called to the principal’s office waiting for everyone else to arrive. Today was an epic fail!
