before the dawn
Sometimes I find myself having the dumbest/ most interesting thoughts.
For instance, today I was wondering if I could walk across the USA.
I figured out the things I would want with me (PDA, solar charger for PDA battery, GPS unit, 3 or 4 changes of clothing, a .45 & ammo, Rain poncho, good shoes. oh and a stack of cash or equivalent)
I'm sure there are one or two more things I might like (corporate sponsorship for instance) but aside from that, it would be an interesting journey.
Why the PDA? Well, then I could write about it (with the right one I could stop by a starbucks or a panera and upload it.) The PDA would work best for this (lighter and the right ones have wireless and you can get a GPS module for them - also easier to charge from the solar contraption). It also has a weight advantage over a computer. The GPS is pretty self explanatory. A cell phone might be nice, but might also defeat the point of the exercise. Everything else is pretty self explanatory.
Like I said, just too much time on my hands.
More in a bit.
