October 6, 2016. Harper, Texas. Lost.

"You can't miss us", said the salesman.  But we fooled him.  We did not only miss finding him once,  but we also missed him on the second try too.  Too much traffic.  Too many speeding cars.  And very bad directions.

Everything seemed simple.  On the way to the ranch, Ken and I would stop by the Suburu dealer which was at highway 10 an 1604.   We would be driving right past so it was a perfect time to avoid an extra trip...but we could not find it.   The salesman had given directions to Ken on Wednesday morning.  He also told me.  We were told it was right on 10, just after you get off 1604.  We had gone several miles before realizing that we had missed it, so I called the salesman for directions, which we followed.  But we got lost so we stopped at the Pro Shop and asked him to come and find us so we could follow him back.

We are not patient people.  We waited 30 minutes.  I had been trying to contact the salesman but he did not answer his hone, so we just got back on Highway 10, heading for the ranch.  Sooner or later we will find that dealership, but today was not going to be the day. The interesting part of this story is that we still do not know which side of the highway to find the place.  How can this happen?   Ken and I can only recall twice in our lives that we were unable to find our destination.  Today, even with the GPS helping, we were still unable to find the stupid place.  But as I said before, we are not patient people!!
