This unplanned leg of our trip meant we navigated via whatever maps we could find : the atlas from the kind fellow on the ferry , the brochures at the drugstore , the ranger 's station maps , the free phone books at the Chamber of Commerce .

It turned out to be a pretty decent movie and quite enjoyable . Last night I had the opportunity to see Speed Racer for which I had really low expectations , but was really surprised at how good and thoroughly enjoyable it was . I 've accomplished a lot today .
