Old Enough To Remember?

my old Bonanza lunch box is somewhere in my basement but the thermos is long gone 1745878282085.png
In my younger days, I worked at the company that made those sorts of lunch boxes. ;)
 
Walked the road ditches looking for some
On a good day could pick up $1 worth
And we were being 'green' - recycling before it became 'fashionable' ... ;)
 
When I had a memory that was 'reliable', I could plot a whole route in my head and then go over, remembering all the landmarks along the way.
But with 'brain cramps' becoming more common, I've had to start using the GPS.

I think about Adam(SoloTotocoyote) often and wonder what he is up to. He is one talented guy. I remember when he rode a 50cc Yamaha scooter a couple of hundred miles to Seastoc.

I dropped Adam an email to ask him what he has been up to. Not sure the email address is working anymore. I'll let everyone know if he gets back to me.

I'm still a fan of taping the day's route to the gas tank. Downside is road construction with nebulous re-routes signs.
Our last trip through northeast Texas into rural Arkansas almost convinced me to go the gps route. Long shoulder-less rural roads with intersections unmarked. Had I not kept up with miles between turns, it would have been a much longer trip. I'm considering a gps.

FWIW, I went with the Fodsport 'chinese' GPS and it has managed to get me all around the globe despite the fact it is not a Garmin. ;)
Last time I checked they are about $200 - a waterproof, glove friendly motorcycle GPS.
They use the same software that most European automotive GPS systems use - IGO.
