Luka Rubinjoni@Viss I wish someone posted this sign when dumb Garmin navigated me into a minefield in Bosnia in 2014.
@rubinjoni holy shit
@Viss Yeah, it was after the floods - the water took the bridge on the road we used to take, and Garmin started directing us to most bonkers routes imaginable. I checked one route with an old paper map I had in the car, and it made sense. We went through some villages, an orchard, and then we ran out of asphalt. We continued along the dirt road, occasionally spotting the small red "Mines!" signs. It was all fun and games until the signs on both sides of the road formed a narrow corridor. 1/2
@Viss At that point, I had a sudden moment of clarity regarding the floods and demining efforts - somebody at some point cleared the road, and we seemed to be close to a major road, but it was really pushing luck... Leaving the car was out of the question, so we drove in reverse until we found a spot where we could U turn. There was a big sign with the map of planned and realized demining in the center of the village, but we missed it entirely while following nav directions. 2/2
