BOYDS, Md.–Our GPS, which we call "Millie," is usually spot-on. Once we did end up headed straight for a quarry, but for the most part her directions have been accurate and easy–which is a huge relief when you're driving in parts of the world you've never been.
That all went out the window in Maryland last week. We were on our way to visit Lee Bristol, co-founder of Standard Solar, at his home in rural Maryland. We ended up interviewing him on his roof, but that story will come later!

That stream crossing brought back great memories. I learned to drive in 1971 back there on that same road in a Triumph GT6+. Much more exciting going through it in a car with 4" of clearance. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
