After a week of travel (and a day of flying across Wyoming at 100 mph... shhh... don't tell) I arrived in Lead, South Dakota to meet my mom for dinner. When I got into town I wasn’t quite sure where to go. I didn’t really expect there to be more then one street. But, damn it there was a stoplight and several directions to go. I knew the Stampmill was on Main St. but my GPS map was showing a couple Main. Sts. So I pulled into a parking lot next to an abandoned auto part shop and called the Stampmill. The young man who answered the phone was a little confused when I asked him what the exact address was.
When I got to the Stampmill, a cute, rustic old hotel, I told the bartender that I was glad that I found the place.
“Oh, you’re the one who called.” he said.
“Well I needed to program my GPS because I got lost in town.” I answered.
He just laughed. It wasn’t until later that I realized that there really was only one main Main St. in town and that it was virtually impossible to get lost. Ah well...
