Working on the road
When my husband decided to ride his bicycle across the country to raise money for our local food bank, I jumped in to volunteer as the support vehicle. Of course I planned to continue to work as we traveled 70 miles a day from San Francisco to Maine. How hard could it be to take my laptop and keep on writing?
The answer is HARD. I’m in a motor home with electricity. I have a MiFi, portable printer, iMac Pro and iPhone. But just sorting out the wires and cables is a nightmare! There are four of us living in this traveling “office.” In the evening, we all log on for blogging, email, photo downloads, etc. The motor home is sucking juice like crazy. And did I mention what access to cell towers is like in Eureka, Nevada?
The upside is that I am working with a view of snow covered mountains and desert wildflowers. So I won’t complain too much. Learn more about the ride.
