Back in the day, my Reserve reconnaissance unit, used to conduct training in the Eastern Townships of Quebec. Our latest maps had our routes indicated and we had to adhere to them as we practiced tactics and secure communication procedures. This involved using code words for roads and checkpoints, so that the always listening enemy could not track our movements. Driving down our assigned route, the road suddenly disappeared into a lake that the 5 year old map did not show. It was only by studying the map that we saw a note indicating the future site of a dam, several miles away. Our Captain, who lived in the area, and assigned our routes, had purposefully set a trap to see how we could indicate our dilemma, without actually referring to the lake and giving away our position. Much hilarity ensued as we played a version of Password. Good times.
