NaNoWriMo Day #16 & 17 and Driving Directions to Munsonville

Bryony Preqel, Section One, Etc: Nothing :(

Word Count: 0

The plan is to return to the prequel tomorrow, barring additional unforseen disasters, etc.

On a brighter note, my sixteen year old son Daniel, who has a fascination for maps and geography, worked out "driving directions" to fictional Munsonville based on reading the Bryony books. Warning: Munsonville exists solely in the imagination. I'm sure where one might end up by traveling this route.

Assuming Grovers Park, Illinois, is near Highland Park, Illinois:

1) Go south on Highway 94 to Highway 196 (114.96 miles; 2 hours, 16 minutes)

2) Go north on Highway 196 until Highway 131 in Grand Rapids, Michigan (79.80 miles; 1 hour, 19 minutes)

3) Go north on Highway 131 to Exit 15 (Black Spruce Road) in Thornton (164.30 miles; 2 hours, 45 minutes)

4) Stay east through the towns of Shelby (30 minutes), Jenson (30 minutes), and into Munsonville (30 minutes). (82 miles; 1 hour, 30 minutes)

Estimated travel distance and time: 359.85 miles; 9 hours, 10 minutes
