That Wasn’t The Correct Highway: Book Five (The Golden Years Gone Wrong 5)

THAT WASN’T THE CORRECT HIGHWAY
Six RVs. One wrong turn. Endless regret.

The plan was simple.
Drive to the Silver Pines RV Rally & Retirement Expo.
Set up camp.
Attend a few seminars.
Maybe win a campground award.
Possibly buy something nobody needed.

Instead, six retirees from Brindle Creek miss one highway exit and accidentally transform themselves into a rolling transportation disaster stretching across multiple counties.

Vernon Creek is absolutely certain his old road atlas knows better than modern GPS systems.
Ken Scott remembers a shortcut from 1978 that may no longer exist.
Earl Forester decides a malfunctioning navigation unit simply needs “a few improvements.”
Olivia Archer loses track of the route almost immediately despite having directions in her lap.
Kevin Dorsey keeps discovering auctions, bargains, and suspicious roadside opportunities that somehow require additional cargo space.
Mavis Tolliver spends the trip trying unsuccessfully to prevent everyone else from making terrible decisions.

Together, they are hauling more than 100,000 pounds of trucks, trailers, motorhomes, campers, spare parts, lawn chairs, camping supplies, and overconfidence through some of the narrowest, steepest, dustiest backroads imaginable.

Unfortunately, many of those roads were never intended for vehicles this large.
Neither were the bridges.

What begins as a missed exit quickly becomes a convoy-wide catastrophe involving weight-restricted crossings, one-lane bridge standoffs, washed-out backroads, campground disasters, GPS failures, road construction detours, confused tourists, impossible turnarounds, and enough public embarrassment to become a permanent part of local folklore.

The deeper they travel into the wrong route, the harder it becomes to turn around.
The harder it becomes to turn around, the more convinced they become that they are almost there.
And they absolutely are not.

For readers who love small-town comedy, retirement humor, laugh-out-loud disasters, stubborn characters, and escalating chaos, That Wasn’t The Correct Highway delivers a nonstop comedy adventure where every solution creates three brand-new problems.
