Re: [RC] Longstreet's Charge Location - Truman Prevatt

I firmly believe that Map Quest is designed by a bunch of Yankees with no conception how the real world works. They need a "Southern" dictionary to translate the correct spelling/pronunciation so they don't get confused.

They also don't have a wits idea how we do roads. I was expecting someone. I got a call and when they told me where they were, I asked how the Hell did you get there. Well it was Map Quest. The could have thrown a stone to my place - but there was not way to get from there to me without going cross country.

I checked and sure enough they route people down some dirt road and leave them.

Thanks Truman,
Found the problem. They have put a space between La and Fayette. There
isn't one. I even checked the phone book to make sure I was right. They
must think we pronounce it La' Fay ette' with the accent on La and ette.
We're from Georgia. It is pronounced LuFayitt with the accent on Fay!  I
copied your map and will post it on the my-endurance.net page for the
ride. :-)
