Have you ever decided to drive somewhere via a route that is longer than what Google Maps first gives you, just to change things up? I did this today, which gave me a sense of adventure that was somewhat unneeded but welcomed. To call this an adventure is a little sad, especially while reading about the adventures of Chris McCandless (Into the Wild).
The route I chose to follow was a route that I had not taken before, but I knew would lead me to my final destination. Still I felt that I was being led in the wrong direction. No matter how many times I saw a highway marker that ensured me I was on the right road, I still felt I would end up somewhere I had not planned on going. But after feeling this sense of insecurity, I realized I had encountered a breath of fresh air. This road had not only gotten me to my destination in relatively good time, but had also led me to new sites, sounds, and those unfortunate smells.
