Never trust your GPS in a rural area and DON’T TRUST THE GRIDS.

Don’t worry. It’s just the wendigos trying to lead you astray.

I was only doing 1 0 due to conditions. I’ll find out in the summer how fast the F-150 is backwards.

No Wendigos out here. That's an Algonquin problem, and it's Saulteux out here.

Unless it electronically limited, depending on gearing it could be into the triple digits.

It’s not a Crown Vic.

I was in a Taurus doing 60 km/h backwards once . That was exciting.

I feel that photo should have more teeth in it. Added urgency and all...

I’d have kept going.

No good story starts with, “So I bitched out”

Do you not have k-turns in Canada?

In any event, Google Maps needs to have a “I’m driving a sedan on all-season tires” option so it doesn’t do things like send me down dirt roads in the country side in winter to save two minutes.

I had three feet of road on either side of my truck. K turn wasn't happening.
