The "Good Old Days?" Well, not so much, really.

172. Are those the spiral bound?

Amazon has them new for $250.


I remember we had a spiral bound of San Antonio, but it was extremely expensive, so I just used a paper map and/or somehow I figured out how to get to where I wanted to go. I never got lost.

I was pretty good at memorizing streets.I remember I would sometimes stop at gas stations and ask directions.


I used to drive from Texas to Wisconsin without really having to look at a map, except for Dallas. Don't ask me about Dallas!

It was a straight shot on 35, then get on 44 in OK City, until St Louis. Then get on 55. Follow the tolls in Chicago to get on I-94 N.

I would stop before that crazy I-35 Dallas/FW split and look at the map. Then, I would look at the map prior to making reservations for the night, somewhere in Southern OK. Then, the next night would be somewhere in Missouri.
