just how many times can one get lost?

many....
so we're on the 10 looking for either 86 or 111 & i see a sign for 111. actually, i take that back, i didn't see the sign, B told me it said 111 & to change lanes, which i did, pulling out in front of another vehicle which luckily saw me coming & moved out of my way.

why didn't i see the sign? why did i pull out in front of another vehicle? because B wouldn't get his hand off my boob while i was trying to drive. i'm driving & trying to remove the hand, so i don't see the 1st sign. i'm continuing to attempt to remove the hand again when i miss the sign saying which lane i have to be in & by that time the lane is veering off the main road.

after all that commotion we end up on side streets, not a highway. B finally decides to be a good co-pilot & look at the map to discover there's a fake 111 in palm springs that doesn't connect to the real 111 that we needed. so then he had to figure out where we were & how to get back on the 10 so we could take the real 111.

it wasn't long before we were back on the right track & we were seeing signs for the real 111 & the 86. beings our initial attempt at the 111 failed so miserably i opted for the 86.
that ended up being a bad idea because once again, we ended up on side streets, not a highway.
how i manage these things i really don't know!
finally we saw a sign that said hwy 86 & we got on the road we were supposed to be on (found out we were on avenue 86 - why they gotta be so dang confusing? the turn-off didn't say "AVENUE" it just said 86!).
we arrived in town shortly before 7, i was aiming for 5:30ish...
