Keep Going Straight

Exams are finally over, so J and I finally had free time to pick up our packages from The Letter Carrier at Point Roberts. It's a one road town at the border of Canada and the US Everything went smoothly on the way there; we didn't get lost, except for a quick detour before getting onto the 99 in the right direction, got our packages, went to the International Marketplace...

...saw some brands of cereal not available in Canada, got cheap milk and Cheetos, got $10 of gas for about 87cents/liter, and drove back across the border.

So, as we were driving along the highway, I decided to take the HOV lane. We were cruising along, when there was suddenly a sign that showed "Vancouver" at the next right turn, but we were stuck in the HOV lane that led to the left! WHY WOULD THEY MAKE THE HOV LANE CUT OFF AT AN EXIT? There were no other signs indicating the direction to Vancouver ahead of that one sign at the fork in the highway either.

So, J and I decided to keep going straight and depend on our luck to take us home... We drove around Surrey, Delta, and New Westminster for 1-2 hours.
Here was our route:

I was about to turn around right before the exit onto the 99 towards the north, but luckily, J screamed at me to "Keep going straight!" right before I turned.

When I got home, my mom noticed that the lid to the gas tank was open. Apparently, I left the cap to the gas tank at the Chevron at Point Roberts. Woops. We could've died. What an adventure...
