Bob, I recommend Yahoo maps if you're driving up near the Brentwood/Antioch area. Evidently Yahoo is the only one of the three (Google, Mapquest, Yahoo) that has directions utilizing the Highway 4 Bypass. Since I haven't been in the area for about 5 years, I didn't realize that the Bypass was even open and used Google maps to get directions to Brentwood for a football game.

The stupid thing had me take Lone Tree all the way from Antioch, adding another 15-20 minutes to the trip. I realized the Bypass was open on my way home. I pulled up the directions in Yahoo and sure enough, there it was.

I guess maybe I need a GPS.

Back on topic, thanks for the story, that is funny!
