    I tried to get driving directions from my town to Nunavut. Mapquest is now broken.

    Speaking of Nunavut...

    A stationery shop (which I love anyway) has started to bring out a new range of products. These products are camo-patterned and consist of a messenger bag, backpack (with camo detail, not the whole thing), lunchbox thingo and wallet. The colour combos?

    Black/green/white
    Pink/purple/white.

    Ye gods....NOT THE PINK CAMO!!!

      I tried Google maps.

      I guess I can't get there from here. That might be a good thing.

        Google Maps told me that Nunavut was undiscovered.

          Google's having "noneofthat" problems. Kind of like allmusic tossing up it's cookies for stuff you aren't allowed to know with Billy Joel's lost recording Attila.

            Google needs to add a "by dog sled" feature to its directions options.

              Yeah, I broke it also. Tried to get driving directions from Minnesota to Kugluktuk, Nunavut.

                I listened to one of the songs on that album via YouTube.

                  Untamed, unspoiled, undiscovered.
                  ....just the fact that they have people there and a tourism industry would indicate that it is not, in fact, undiscovered...

                    I got the same thing.

                    I also, just for fun, tried the White House and Nunavut. Got nothing

                      It very well could be because like in Alaska, a lot of communities have no roads to the outside world and are only accessible by air.
