Dear Not:

     What a straight line!  You even specifically invite me to use the
AAA map.  OK, on your AAA Portland map, look just east of Tualatin and
south of Lake Oswego, at the intersection of SW Borland Rd and Stafford Rd.
It's at O8 on my map.

If your collection is so bare you only have the Oregon/Washington map,
you'll have to look at the "Portland and Vicinity" inset in the same
place (I know it's boring for it to be in the same place on both maps,
I guess AAA doesn't have a good enough imagination.)  This is at the
bottom of the inset, just north of I-205.

What's bizarre is that I am convinced that Wankers Corner is an invention
of AAA.  I have never seen a map printed by anyone else showing it.
