Where in the world is Google taking me?

Seen along the route Google Maps gave me as directions from home to the New Philadelphia, Ohio Appleseed.

The sign's got reasonably fresh paint on it, so you should be okay. You only need to worry when  the sign looks like it's been bead-blasted with 00 buckshot. (grin)

I wasn't really worried since I was in a Jeep just thought it was humorous.

Driving a Jeep sure is nice. "I don't have to worry about the road because I drive a Jeep." That, folks, is the "Jeep thing" you've heard us talking about.

I wonder what would happen if one of Google's self-driving cars followed their maps up onto that road?   

I've seen a couple of their prototypes around the Bay Area, both Prius'.  Not exactly your high-clearance ride!

It would probably be ok, the road was actually in better shape than when I saw it last year. I think someone took a load of gravel and spread it out on part which had been washed out. It's really only a small section (a little less than 0.2 of a mile) of the road which the sign applied to. A little further on though the road becomes a single lane tar and chipped old fashioned country road which might give the Google self-driving cars' lane following algorithms fits.

I'd only have started worrying if I'd heard banjos.

Google maps must be out to get us... no joke, here is where I ended up one day after a wrong turn... I couldn't resist taking a picture....
