62. GoogleMaps part II, mea culpa

I repeated my Tacoma-Seattle run recently, combining the Google bike route with some modifications. I  discovered that the main problem with the first GoogleMap misadventure was understandingly (understandably?) ignoring a road with no signpost, a gravel lane that dead-ended into a farm; just a farm entrance I thought.  That's the city's problem, not Google's.  This second time, I pedaled down it and found that it led to a trail that was totally bikeable and a nifty route though the forgettable town of Milton.  So Google forgiven.  My time was a little over 3.5 hours (compare my earlier 6 hr disaster). And would have been even shorter had I spent less time on the serpentine Green River Trail.
