LifeHacker is another one of my go to websites. They constantly post tips and tricks on all kinds of subjects, from the kitchen to mobile technology. The writers at LifeHacker dumb down their directions for people like me, who only want to know how (the easy way) without caring about the why and what if.
Recently, Lifehacker contributor Alan Henry shared a method which makes it possible to use your iOS or Android phone even when out of range! Check it out!

This could be you! (or me) CAUTION! The F bomb is dropped, frequently!!!
I met Jen and Johnny (aka Hitek Homeless) at the Rubber Tramp Rendezvous in Quartzsite this past January. I may be their biggest fan (and quite possibly a harmless stalker)
One of the many things I love about this couple is their willingness to share information. They've created a couple of fantastic websites that do just that.
Their blog documents their travels with pictures and descriptions of hikes, campsites, and other aspects that may be of interest to travelers of all modes. It also has a page dedicated to work camping resources.Bookmark this page! It lists many resources available with a single click and it has recently been updated.
They also have a wonderful gallery of pictures, taken at their many camp sites, hiking and caving expeditions. I'd be hard pressed to pick my favorite, but I really enjoyed the most recent A July 4th Rainbow and Hoodoos(picture lifted from Hitek Homeless)
Jen and Johnny are also created FreeCampsites.net. The website incorporates an interactive map of boon docking campsites, which is easily navigated. All of the listed sites have been utilized by Jen and Johnny or contributors. The campsites are rated and any difficulties getting there are noted and discussed. The website is updated regularly as they travel throughout the United States.
They provide a discussion forum to discuss all aspects of RV living and boon docking.
You can stalk follow them on FaceBook, for more frequent updates. If you have a question about a campsite or area they're happy to provide answers.
As a sidenote, if you have the opportunity to camp with these wanderers, the entertainment value, alone, is priceless!
Thanks, you guys, for providing such awesome resources and not having me arrested for stalking! I'm looking forward to the next time!
It's no surprise to me, nor I am sure, to many others who spent time in Quartzsite this past winter. The rumblings in the belly of Quartzsite, by both residents and seasonal vendors were palpably loud. Things were going to get messy.
7/12/2011 6:00:00 AM Associated Press PHOENIX (AP) "... The far western Arizona town of Quartzsite was in a state of upheaval Monday after the town council ousted the mayor from power and declared a state of emergency, all over an online video that shows a woman being arrested..."
The video below has generated a lot of press for the small town, where many RVin' folk make their winter home.

In a press release, IndoorDirect stated that,"...Taco Bell Corp. and Indoor Direct, Inc. have reached a long-term agreement to be the first to install in-store television network and free Wi-Fi solutions in all 5,600 Taco Bell locations throughout the United States..."
The project is expected to be completed in July of 2015.
Currently, Taco Bell has 14 locations with free WiFi
One of the things I struggle with when it comes to road prep are which documents I need to have readily accessible for myself or a loved one, in case of an emergency
The Consumerist comes through again with an post taken from Wall Street Journal/Wall Street Investor. WSJ references death, with regard to the article and graphic. In reality, it's something that would make things easier in case of any type of emergency or catastrophe.
The article goes into more detail, but the graphic really simplifies it. Graphic by Tim Goldman
Good information whether your traveling, or not!
**Disclaimer If you're anything like me, you may not need all of these documents if you've unloaded prperty, and most of what you own.
