Re: A silly Google moment
I almost hate to ask how you found this or why. But, #22 was a hoot! A little tougher than the English Channel.
If all else fails, ask for help.

Re: A silly Google moment
I got in a email today..
It's amazing how these things mess up so wonderfully.
One of our road rescue companys, the AA, has a web routing service which had a similar foul up in my area.
To get from Weymouth to Portland, a trip of some 6 miles, it sent you to the ferry terminal, across the English Channel and back again. Total distance about 210 miles.Brian - Newton Abbot, Devon, UK

I seem to remember that USA to London drops you into Le Havre and you drive to Calais for the ferry
