When we reached our minimal distance at lunchtime, my son agreed to go
on, but following some trail signs through the forest rather than along
the river, reaching the third state (Bavaria, for which I had no offline
map) mid-afternoon. From there, follow another river trail downhill
"for a bit", and upon seeing a sign to Frankfurt "Oh, let's got There",
turning a 20 miles planned trip spontaneously into a 65 mile trip in
unknown territory...
I used to carry a regional map for those situations. Gave it up when
going thirty miles in one day became a major achievement -- not to
mention that I was unable to replace my map collection after we
retired and moved to my spouse's home town.
