That of course meant finding a road you had never taken before and seeing where it went. I still do it if I really need a break. Tom *loves* new roads, particularly if they're little back roads. He has a large atlas of Texas where he highlights every road he's been on. It's quite impressive! Hey! Now thats an idea! I wonder where I can get a map for my local area that is exhaustive? I live in a "new" suburb, that is, most of this burb wans't here 5 years ago. Consequently there are new bits added all the time, so new roads to explore. However, there's this one house thats been visible from my place ever since we moved in, and it looks like it has a copper dome with a gargoyle on top. I don'thave a pair of binoculars so can't tell from here, and I've set out many a time to actually drive past and get a better look. But for the life of me I can't find the road that its on, and since its a new 'burb, most of the usual street maps don't actually have this 'burn printed in them. Its very frustrating (but does make interesting drives, especially now with Cary, because we are never far from home!) Yowie Try http://www.whereis.com.au Can't find any information there on how often it's updated, but it seems pretty current for the new streets around where I live. If someone built a copper dome near my place I'd want a close up look too. I was most disappointed when our council recently knocked back an application to build a Buddhist temple because it didn't think the tall pointy roofs would "fit in". Helen Wheels |
