And we've got coverage again... Instead of doing interstates from Washington DC to Nashville, TN we opted for the green alternative and cruised for some 70 miles of winding roads through Shenandoah nat'l park. Very beautiful forest covered mountians and our first encounter with wildlife: 2 black bears and a handful of deer.

So, back on the interstate again (which brings us 3G again, so we have satnav back online). It's another 500 miles to Nashville, and it's already past 2pm, which means we may not make it there today. We'll see how far we get, first time for some lunch.

Cool beans! I think I have made the ideal setup for our blogging experience while doing this trip (see picture). Paul is currently driving and we're about 130 miles from Knoxville TN [we're trying to get to Nashville, but we may not actually get that far, as it's about 5:30pm right now].

While he's driving down the I-81 at about 70mph, I decided to put all of the cables and geek toys I took with me on this trip to good use. So first, we have a car adapter for Apple (12V charger) which connects to my laptop. Then we have a USB connection to the Droid "courtesy of Verizon Wireless", which runs PDAnet in USB tethering mode. I can now type on the big keyboard with a decent screen real estate, and publish the blog entries like that, rather than typing on the mini-screen and keyboard of the Droid itself (which, of course, is also lots of fun :)
But all the while, the android is happily running Driveabout and providing me internet. Thanks Charles and thank you again, Verizon - this really was a great thing you did for me.
