Just a quick note about roads in the South: Do not assume anything. If you miss your turn, do not assume that you can take the next road that looks like it runs parallel and adjust accordingly. Roads are not mapped out on a grid in the south. I think they just took old ox cart trails that wound around huge trees and other obstructions, and paved them. Eventually the obstructions were removed and we wonder why in the world the roads are so curvy and crazy.
Do not assume that just because you took Kudzu Lane there, Kudzu Lane will bring you back. Because on the way there Kudzu Lane may well have changed names three times and at your destination it might actually be Keziah Rd.
Conifer Street may intersect with Conifer Street. This is where it is really good to have your destination mapped out ahead of time and have the map with you!
Not all roads are two-lane; people actually bicycle on these busy, narrow, winding roads; the road sign may be up there somewhere, but may be unreadable because of vines or tree overgrowth.
If you just follow the yellow brick road without paying close attention, you may not end up where you want to be...or even worse, know how to get home again afterwards. You will do just fine, though, if you googlemap beforehand, keep a map in your vehicle at all times, and pack plenty of snacks. And most of all, don't assume anything.
I'm beginning to think roads in MN make A LOT of sense.
