Yes I hate humidity but we went there to buy 3 more Boer goats. Actually it felt a little better there as more wind.

The step son will have to do the WAZE thing. The GPS on here phone sent us 20 mi out of the way to the guys address!!!!!!! I was pissed!!! ha GPS does not always seem to work well out in the sticks. We will try the AWZE!!!!

We were about 15-20 N of Corpus.

When you get out of range of cell coverage things get really weird with GPS. When I worked inspecting cell towers I did a stint up in Alaska; cell coverage was so bad I had to download the satellite images of the tower site location and write down the latitude and longitude. Without cell service the GPS maps still worked but there was no way for your phone to figure out where you are on the map.

I keep the voice muted btw (drives me NUTS) and just mount my phone to a little carrier thing that suction-cups to my windshield when I'm traveling and need directions.
