Here’s a set of goggle maps for the travel days of the trip. This should be the hops I’ll make across the country to make may way back to Massachusetts It’s a 9 day trip without layovers, but with the planned rest points, it adds another 7 days. The total 16 day trip means that if I’m going to be back by my desired date of August, 8, the last day of departure can be Monday, July 23. The drop dead date is Wednesday, July 30 for riding straight through.

I’m trying to get some sort of APRS setup running by then. If nothing else, I can bike power my TH-D7A and Garmin GPS III combo, but it’s really not optimal for what I want to do. I’m trying to get these:

Micro-Trak 8000 FA
Byonics GPS2

And semi-permanently mount them to the bike in a modified cowl. I’m not sure that I’ll get that far though, it’s a bit of work and ordering to get the setup done. You should be able to track where I am at using URL.
