Shit happens (mostly after hours) and I now know the quickest route to my trusty ER.
But considering the forecast, and realizing that it would take forever to walk the rest of this route, I decided to keep my trusty iron steed.

In 2004, feeling cramped by his children's Hot Wheels and Pokémon cards, he saddled up his trusty 1985 Suzuki DR600, added a GPS device and Butt Buffer gel seat pad, and set out along Pirsig's route from Minnesota to San Francisco, to arrive on his 42nd birthday.
Take the trusty wristwatch.
Released TE Landon Trusty.
