Google Maps?

I've always done pretty good at getting lost every time I go to El Paso. For that reason last Wednesday when we went to the Bob Dylan concert I thought it would be best to check Google Maps for directions to the Don Haskins Center. This way with proper directions we could relax, not worry about getting lost, and leave Las Cruces at the last minute - secure in the knowledge that we would be able to negotiate the proper route, express-like.

So here's the map Google Maps produced:



The purple line is the route Google recommended, with the instructions ending somewhere in downtown El Paso...

But wait a minute, Don Haskins Center? "Hey Chels, isn't that the UTEP basket ball stadium?"

"I don't fuckin' know."

So we ended up leaving at the last minute, following the directions into some neighborhood in the downtown area, realizing the mistake, and than winging it back up Paisano Drive towards I-10 and the UTEP campus. Luckily Chels was able to provide directions to UTEP.

We ended up missing the first hour of Merle Haggard because of the scenic route through downtown. Dylan rocked, and the way home went a lot smoother.
