It was only a matter of time before something like this happened. I can confirm that google maps in Mexico and Central America hallucinates roads that aren’t there, and is generally batshit insane. You never just follow it blindly.
I kind of think that if you’re driving around the kind of place that has unmarked/unblocked death roads like that, maybe Google Maps isn’t the primary culprit.
Yeah the India road should have been marked. But that still doesn’t happen w/o Google Maps. As I’m plummeting to my death, I’m not going to spend a lot of time debating who’s more at fault.
Also a big reason why “don’t drive at night” is the number one rule of overlanding.
This is some crazy shit.
The gold one is called “Old English Wench”. Made out of paper so if you tug on them, they rip. And they had to change into them in the plane bathroom for mealtime.

In America, yeah. That one hasn’t really made it out here yet.
Australia being two years behind makes sense
I received a notification that my $120/year WaPo subscription was about to renew, so I clicked to cancel out of spite. Then it offered me $60/year, which I accepted. So there’s an easy money-saving tip.

Random cool thing: the orbit of the Space Station just passed overhead at the perfect time to see it clearly. Thing was bright and fast as hell. Never even knew it could be seen.

The Fugees as a whole are fucked up individuals.
Could have saved double the amount by following through and actually cancelling.

Fucked up, but talented, as is often the case.
Many of us are just fucked up.
