It was to be a very exciting day here in soggy
Vancouver. I gleefully headed downtown to the government map store to pick
up the 1:50,000 topos of St. Pierre et Miquelon. Finally, I hoped, our
question would be answered.
They handed me a big roll -- and I spread the maps
out on their big table. The first one
revealed the Island of Miquelon. Nothing of interest there. Then I
unrolled the map of St. Pierre. And... and... and... IT WAS THE WRONG MAP!
Some sort of numbering error has given two topo
maps the same number. So instead of getting the answer to our burning
question, I got a nice view of the middle of Newfoundland. Not a border to
be seen. How boring!
The map people hopped on the phone -- and said that
they would get a new (correct) topo couriered from Ottawa. My fingers are
crossed that this will be the right one.
Yours in disappointment,

Best Vancouver excuse for being late for
work:
"A movie was being shot and they detained me for
continuity."
