That happened to me when I first went on, but after refreshing a couple of times it seemed to work. Then again, I think tumblr may have temporarily crashed MapCrunch...



P.S. I've officially given up on Germany. I may try again somewhere else later if the site's working.

Haha, fair enough.

Wow. That was a crazy game. At first, all of the cars were American and the street signs were in English. Then I couldn't find anything for 20 miles in any direction. So, naturally, I assumed I was in Missouri. And then I saw a french sign. So I then guessed (correctly) Canada.



Unfortunately, I know nothing about Canada other than it's America's hat. I know even less about the french language and even less about the metric system. So I wandered for a long time before coming across the Trans-Canadian Highway. I was excited until I realized that the next closest town was 45 KM away and, after that, 111Km away. Picking which way to go when you're lost is a pain, especially when you can only name 4 or 5 Canadian cities and "Old Dawson Trail" isn't one of them.

I finally made it out after about 2 hours via an airport in Kenora, Ontario. Come to find out, I was driving Away from Winnipeg (when I started in Manitoba) the whole time. Fun, but nerve-wracking when you realize that Canada seems a lot like all the worst of Nebraska with all the charm of Siberia. No offense, of course.

Yeah I gave up on mine. I was in an area with a lot of junkyards and construction companies, but there were some trucking companies too, so let's say I stowed away on a transport truck. They tend to drive long distances.

I ended up on a walking trail in Antarctica and only a cruise ship moored in the harbour... cute penguins though...

I tried another one and ended up in Mexico.
What an empty shit hole that country is.

I've been over that stretch several times, it's pretty barren.

Okay, I just lucked out on that one. I landed in a suburb, but painted on the road in front of me was "Zone Ecole", and to my left was a mail box with the Canada Post logo. A quick check of the flagpole at the school confirmed I was in Quebec.

In Quebec, if I just head SW far enough I'll eventually hit either the US border or the Highway back to Ontario. So I did that, taking each larger road in turn, and I'm now 2 KM north of Montreal. I should be able to drive home from here.

I ended up in suburban Melbourne, Australia. Luckily only 9-10 hours from home.



Any random place in Australia you are likely to end up in the middle of nowhere.

Thanks for the stories everyone, this game is stupidly addicting once you get started. I've just started a new one:
