Librarians, especially in the smaller towns, are happy to let you use the computer to check your e-mail, and you could post text about your trip.

Pictures are an entirely different problem, you'd probably have to wait till you got back.

Have you taken the trailer on a shakedown trip?

 

[eastwoodo4]

just a quick 5 miles.seemed to do alright.

If you stay along the Gulf Coast, say 30-50 miles inland, you'd be on Florida like terrain, nearly all the way to New Mexico.

But I'd suggest a 2-3 day loop around Florida, like over to the Atlantic Ocean, to those Crystal Springs swimming holes near Gainesville, maybe up to the Okefenokee.

You learn a whole lot about what to bring, average daily mileages, tire wear.

Then all you have to do is pick a spot to cross the mighty Mississippi.

Way to go! I have been thinking of a long cross country trip on a motored bike pulling a small trailer. I have done it on a Harley and that was fun, but, an even slower trip would be even better. I am waiting to see the kits from the EZmotorbikes company work out. Perhaps next late summer Lord willing. I will be watching your progress with interest. As a side note, I am seeing compact laptops like the Acer I am using right now selling for less than $300.00 [URL="http://www.grobux.com/products/827331?gclid=CJ3htqD_xZkCFRFWagodMGxBug[/URL]

bring a extra axle

i broke a axle on a cheaper wheel with my scrub drive.it seems to put extra stress on the wheel.mine broke after 1000 miles but i did keep it clean and properly tightened .i dont know after seeing alaskavans scrub drive metal worn out, i think i dont know anything about them,i have never saw that before unbelievable !!
