Road Warriors Live

Gentlemen Start Your Engines

Sorry for the long delay in between postings.  I am sure you thought that we have dropped off the face of the earth or we ditched the RV and went back to work.

I just wanted to check in and let everyone know what is going on. 

We have been busy preparing for the summer and getting our trip schedule together.  We are also working out the bugs as far as video and audio transmission on the road.  We have actually taken a couple trips since I last posted but they were for testing equipment and working out some of the kinks that we experienced on the way to and from Florida.

The main website work is still not done since developer we use ran into some problems. We have a very cool trip planned for the end of April and unless they get their work finished we will need to use the back up site again. http://www.roadwarriorslive.com/BackUp since the camera is not live now you might get a 404 error when you try to bring it up.  When the camera is on that site will load just fine for you.

Now that your updated on the tech stuff here is where we are with the trip schedule. 

Due to the spiraling cost of gas as well as some new family commitments we have decided push the date of the Route 66 trip until the end of the summer.  We were not expecting Diesel Gas prices to climb to over $4.50 a gallon and with an 80 Gallon tank it gets cost prohibitive pretty quickly.  We will still be making the trip but have decided to combine it with other business.  Instead of making 2 or 3 cross country trips this summer we are cutting it down to just one at the end of Summer.  We will be taking our time getting there and back so it works out better for you while riding shotgun.

Instead of taking the Cross Country trips we have decided to stay a little closer to home base and take frequent trips within a one day drive.  This should also work out better for everyone since you will not be staring at the road all the time but also enjoying some cool vacation spots in the Midwest.

Since some of you are not in the Midwest I know you might think of unsubscribing now but I have something for you too.  I have invited a few friends to also post here on their travels.  This way we can all get a little taste of different places to go and things to do and you don’t have to wait on us to get there.  Keep an eye out for those posts.  Comments on those posts also qualify you for our souvenir give-a-ways.

That brings me to more exciting news we have to share with you.  On Memorial Day weekend we will be testing out some new technology that will let you come along not just for the ride but when we are out and about.  We will be testing a way to get you LIVE VIDEO when we are out of the RV and exploring. Will will still be hooked to the GPS so you will be able to see where we are.

Next Trip
I have been invited to the NASCAR Race at Lowes Motor Speedway on Memorial Day weekend.  This will be a solo trip and I will be taking the RV.  The plan is to get on the road early Thursday morning and get there and setup before dark.  It’s a 700+ mile trip so I will need you to keep me awake.  I will be transmitting video the GPS will be running.

Once I am setup and if everything works out as planned you will be able to see the party at the campground on Thurs, Fri, Sat, Sun, & Mon.  From what I understand things can get a little crazy so you will want to tune in and see what trouble we get into.

Mark your calendar for the trip: May 22 2008 I should be starting around 3:00 or 4:00 in the morning and driving all day.  Then also set a reminder for yourself to check-in the whole weekend and he drive back on Monday.

Stay tuned for updates as we get closer.  I can’t wait to get back on the road again.
