Day 2 (Sun. May 14/06)

Pioneer, OH to Normal, IL

The day started with a light rain but it soon turned nice with a little sun. At a mid-morning brunch, we packed the rain suits away. Late in the afternoon we had a little down pour that we managed to outrun quickly, then a little rain on and off for a couple of hours.

I relocated the APRS equipment to a better spot in the trailer and locked the key pad on the radio in hopes of getting my signals out. No wireless internet tonight so we will keep looking. US Starbucks requires a Tmobile account, but they have a free trial offer I would like to check out.
