Road Trip Photos

We have uploaded photos from our cross-country road trip.

The Road Trip is Over

Our ~5000 mile road-trip (NYC to Santa Cruz, CA) is over. Some thoughts accumulated on the way:

18 wheelers really do have 18 wheels, but the quad-segmented Fedex trucks (cab + 3 trailers) have 26 wheels.

We managed to pass about 15 vehicles. That is what happens when you drive an old RV that gets wobbly over 60 mph.

A/C is over-rated. Roll your windows down. Feel the heat.

Utah is once again and still the most amazing state to visit if you want to live on Mars

The mid-west may be flat and full of fields, but it is beautiful. Especially Iowa.

AT&T has terrible signal west of the eastern slope of the Rocky Mountains. Verizon has excellent 3G coverage coast to coast except in some Utah canyons.

And of course photos… I’ll upload them soon to a new album.

Road Trip

We’re driving from New York City to Santa Cruz, CA. We’ve kitted out our camper with mobile wireless. The SSID is “GoGoCamperGo”. My wife has set up a live-stream of the drive and I’m broadcasting GPS stats. The camera and GPS will be on whenever we’re driving, and sometimes when we are parked. Updates may appear here and here.
