Finally! And Bill, that's probably as much Jack Kerouac as you are going to get today.
Got off a lot later than planned quotation marks 10:50", but I'm on the schedule, so that is fine.
Planned the route this morning on the home computer to Eisenhower State Park using smallest roads I could find, that were still going in the general direction. For some reason I could only transfer the route to the iPad and not the iPhone, for turn by turn directions.
T-Mobile gives you 200 MB of cellular data free each month which is nice of them; I signed up for that plan on my iPad. But halfway to the park the directions stopped; it turns out you have to have cellular data available to use the Google maps route, and t-Mobile coverage dropped out right there. (I didn't expect this – it bodes ill for the navigation further west where cellular signal is limited).
I switched over to the iPhone (Verizon) at that point, as there was good Verizon signal, and I arrived at Eisenhower State Park with no further delay. Mileage: 258 miles; time: approximately five hours; average MPG for this leg: 41.7!! đŸ˜€
Posting note: I am posting this Thursday noonish at a McDonalds. Posting through email isn't working as well as I would like. So a day's posts will probably come through a day later.
