Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Distant WiFi: FlagPole Buddy & Ubiquiti NanoStation
When it comes to getting online, very often nothing beats a little altitude.

The Sunrise Coast: Tawas, Michigan
Who would have ever thought that night owls like us would end up touring Michigan’s ‘Sunrise’ coast?

Northern Indiana Exploring
Our time in northern Indiana hasn’t all been consumed with bus projects – we did get out and play a little too. Elkhart While still at Elkhart Campground (our review), RVillage founder Curtis Coleman hosted an impromptu meet up at his coach – which was very well attended. We hardly had time to talk with […]
