I had to leave this morning and had to take a detour since whoever was working on the railroad tracks.
I followed the signs and got to familiar territory. Then going home I got more detour signs. I got lost. I recognized street names, but went out of my way and ended downtown.
I did get home with five minutes extra driving but I did get home.
Railroad fixings going on tomorrow, but I don't have to go anywhere. What a relief.

@Rosekitty but at least you'll both end up wherever it is. My sense of direction is appalling.

I'm glad no one followed me home; they'd have been lost, too.

I love my GPS although not all of them are so accurate.

@Marcyaz ,
With the detour, my route was not so accurate.

That's good.I have to rely on my own instincts, so it's so so.

sometimes it's fun to just drive around my town, learn the streets and find little interesting things like odd yawn art and stuff

Detours can be disorienting for sure. Especially when you're used to traveling the same route all the time.

@wetnosedogs It isn't any fun at all. You are not familiar with the area and so afraid that you will get lost.

That kind of detour does not sound like fun at all.

Even though I've been living here for a few years I'm not entirely familiar with the area. If I got a detour I'd probably get very lost as I only know how to get from point A to point B. I dont' have a GPS in my car

I hate it when I get lost but it happens when I'm forced like you to go a different way. (while in the city) I love where i live and the country around it because i can't get lost. I love the area.

I really hate a detour. We then sometimes get lost.

Yeah, I was okay the first part of the detour, going home on another detour did lose me.

Detours like that are tiny adventures you get to experience in regular life, and it helps you know the locality better!

I'll have to remember that, but I hope there is no next time.

I hate detours, I usually end up getting lost unless I follow someone else who has been rerouted
