We left a motel that was right beside a wireless access point, it was handy but very poor access. Today looked like a short trip 80 miles to start with to a service area with wireless access.
While we where sitting there we bumped into the one of the Twister Sisters, who had a film crew from Fox 9 with them. They wanted to talk to us about why we had come all the way over here, you never know we might make the telly yet.
Also we had the pleasure of meeting Jerry Funtsinn who showed us the set up in his car, he had a system that downloaded information from Satellite reducing the need for internet access, also it's on tap all the time. Notice the number plate.
On the visible Satellite there where some clouds building to our SW, nothing was showing on radar yet so we popped down the road to see. On the way we passed a doppler radar site.
Bumping into another chaser.In the end the clouds we had aimed for just fell apart
So to cheer Steve up, we took him to McDonalds.
