Traveler advice
Getting around
Be careful with GPS - it's not always accurate in town.
For instance, we've seen people drive right off the hillside across the street, because their GPS showed Angle Street as connecting to Main Street, when it actually deadends at the rental cottage up there. Another good example is Mountain Street - the GPS doesn't show how very steep it is. Getting up it from Main Street is best left to us locals.
