Though you "Mericans are admittedly, much more enthusiastic about it. I love that as I live in the inadequately infrastructured, but truly lovely, BC. And its funny, I can drive for hours over logging roads, new and old, high up unfamiliar mountain ranges covered in snow, and find the exact spot some driller has left a pattern of bore-holes plugged with bright red drill-cones for me to load with powder and pop out of the way. Never missed a single one! But throw a coupla orange cones and a big old "DETOUR" sign onto a dead straight prairie highway? I'm screwed.<br />Fortunately, when I'm not pressed for time, I kinda like being lost. Who knows, I may one day actually find myself lost in Wisconsin.
