We’re leaving in the morning to begin the Big Trip West … a Return to Pocatello. The weather map is much calmer than it was last night at this time. I can only describe that as “goodness”!<\/p>\n
I’ve discovered a new capability now that I have a ham radio license. It’s an ability to post regular position reports which can be viewed on the Internet.<\/p>\n
You can track us as we move westward. That is, position reports will be posted while we’re driving, most of the time (except when I’m using my iPhone for something else). These reports are sent by way of my iPhone to a system that then transmits the report over the airwaves to the system that plugs the position report into a database and makes it available for viewing anywhere in the world.<\/p>\n
