Even the GPS gets confused

I haven' t got any more pictures to share today but we had another great day with perfect weather and a great road trip to a place called Gothic. It was listed as a ghost town but when we got there it was not the kind of ghost town I was expecting. There were people every where and most of them were some sort of students studying all kinds of things from blades of grass, to butterflies and critters that roam the mountain sides.
Some of the buildings were from the original era in the 1800's but have been refurbished and modernized for today's use.
We found it on our own because the GPS lady who talks to you and tells you which roads to take was getting so mixed up she almost had a burn out. We didn't follow her very well and she starts to tell you over and over to "make a u Turn, make a u turn" & if you don't make a u turn she starts to say, "recalculating, recalculating" then proceeds to tell you to go a different way which at times wasn't an option because there wasn't a road there. It must be something about the signal in the mountains that isn't real good at times or else its us because we tend to go off the beaten path and get the poor thing all confused.. We laughed so hard today when she kept saying, make a u turn over and over again it was almost like she was getting mad at us, which I know can't be, its only a machine.
This little device has been a big help most of the time and makes finding places so much easier but it does have limits apparently as we have found out today, there are places that even the GPS lady can't find.
