A Taste of Colorado

[kevin_standlee]

Based on her latest message, I think this was Lisa's route today, sticking to US-30 whenever possible, and dipping briefly into Colorado to stop at Julesburg and call me before heading back onto I-76 and then on to I-80 (or more likely US-30) again. She enthused over finding fuel for only $3.52/gallon, reports that the off tank still runs most of the time, and because of the time she lost dinking around Salt Lake City yesterday, she has not been able to stop and take as many train pictures as she would like, but she has been admiring UPs rail operations along their multi-track "raceway."

With your detailed trip reports have you considered getting a GPS tracking unit or even a full GPS unit to record your track in detail.

She's a ham, use APRS!

She did once have a GPS unit, but she's given up on them because (a) they all appear to be made in China and (b) they all require touch-screens and piles of menus before they'll do what she wants them to do. No point in buying a piece of hardware that Lisa will (I'm not joking) smash in frustration.
