Keeping the Windmill Alive - Your last trip? – April 2013

 
Mon, 04/01/2013 - 12:55am

In danger of losing your windmill?

Maybe you can share with us the last place your GPS took you and if you encountered any problems, or if you use it to seek out special places to go (like Thai Food, ice cream shoppes, etc.)

Anything to keep your windmill alive.

This thread will be closed on the last day of the month and a new one will be opened.

We use our GPS "Every Second of Every Minute of Every Hour of Every Day". Not really, just sounds like a good name for a 'Country-Western' song!

West Coast

Drove to LA for a Late Christmas (couldn't do it Dec 25 for the wife was recovering from a broken back) with the grandchildren and then to Phoenix with our daughter.
Several times my 1490 showed us traveling through the fields beside the highway but after a few miles the road found us.

Yay Trains!

Helped my son move from St. Louis to Ft. Worth, Tx last week, and since we towed his car with a Rental Truck, I decided to take the train back. Mounted my GPS on the train window with the suction mount, and could keep track of our speed and location. They have 110 volt connections on every seat, so the adapter came in handy. I tried off road mode, but found, in a lot of places, the train paralelled roads, so you could track it better in Auto mode. Fastest speed was 81 mph, which I learned later, is the fastest by law, they are allowed to run. The snow coming up through Southern Missouri was beautiful. 17 and a half hour trip, but you can get up, walk around, stretch, walk the length of 5 cars, go downstairs to the snack car, go down to the dining car, or sit in the glass club car and watch the scenery. On the whole trip, the whole train was only about half full.

Rode the rails to Orlando, FL for my honeymoon back in '76! smile

Death Valley

We took a geocaching and camping trip this month. Camped in the high desert. The wind came up in the night and hit over 40mph. Woke up to swirling ice crystals. Brrrrr.... Broke came and headed down the hill. The desert was in the air blowing sideways. The dang wind went on for several days. It was insane. Gusts up to 60mph or so. It finally cleared up enough to enjoy the trip though. Of course, throughout it all, Jack guided us where we needed to go and also had a custom POI file of all the geocaches we might look for on our trip. I love that little piece of equipment.
