The Boondocker

Not a bad first day back on the road. I only got started about half an hour later than planned- mainly due to my love of the coffee pot and internet in the morning.

It is amazing to me how fast everything has greened up. Saw farmers out working fields in southern Illinois which I guess is confirmation that spring is here even if it is quite a bit cooler than the 80 degree days of the past week.

The biggest thing of note today is I LOVE the upgrade to mobile Google Maps. I do not have a dedicated GPS unit, and as tempting as they are, I can never convince myself to shell out the bucks. Last year when I got the Blackberry, I played some with the GPS and it was OK, but the Google app, was so so. Now you can see your own maps (such as the campground project map, or special trip maps) search locally, ect. It even has an ETA function which I really like. I do wish it had counters for miles traveled and miles to go, but all and all I am really happy.

Tomorrow, I am off to Lawton, OK to see friends before getting into New Mexico for a few days.
