You know, I used to use them, too ... but then to avoid the places I like to avoid I ended up pre-planning the trips so there was a lot of duplicated effort. Also, a lot of my local/regional travel when I reach someplace is off-the-cuff. The side-trip this time that found me faced by a row of You-Shall-Not-Pass barriers making me go miles around ... I wouldn't have bothered to or even thought to put on trip-tik
