This weekend I was staying at a relative's house. Did a day trip from there to a nearby amusement park.

The directions included 23 turns in 18.9 miles and a 40 minute drive time. Many of those turns were name changes of the current road as it went through numerous tiny mountain towns.

There as an alternate route available for 11 turns in 30.2 miles and 42 minutes drive time.

Or a third with 28 turns in 18.6 miles and 43 minutes drive time.

But I just noticed, while looking up these numbers, that all three routes were unaware that there's a bridge a half-mile from the relative's house. Cross that and suddenly it's 7 turns in 20.1 miles and 31 minutes.
