Our Lyft Saga

 We went to the Railbird festival and needed to get back to our hotel, 5 miles away.  We left early to avoid the crowds and had reserved a ride the day before.  The concert was in the area that looks like a horse racing track.



The event organizers arranged for ride shares to pick-up in chutes set up in the grassy area SW of the track and it was working well, but our driver wanted us to go here:



After half an hour of futzing around, he never showed up.  My wife called a new ride and he wanted us to go here:



He also never showed up, though we walked to that location.  I used my phone to try another one, from about where the coffee cup  is.  He also never showed up.  Finally, we continued walking toward our hotel to here:


We quickly got a ride and were back at our hotel, about 2 hours later than planned.
