Yeah, you don't have to wander far to find some neat roads in Fredrick, Washington, and Carroll counties. While they're not exactly the Dragon or 211, they're close by and generally have fewer LEOs.

I, too, have tried to employ the "It's the same felony to **** with that R1 parked next to me as it is to steal my POS" strategy, and am dismayed to hear you're not having success with it.

My VFR has a 12v cig adapter for just such an occasion. So, I have spent my morning roaming Chantilly as a mobile wireless node (the other was a truck). It is absolutely beautiful out. It was next to impossible to come back inside for lunch. If I weren't on travel this week, my next step would be to test from my wireless bike up in Shenandoah. It would probably take all day. Yep. All day. Maybe even a couple of days. Ahhhh. -- ___________________________________ Mike Troutman mike@XXXXXX http://www.troutman.org/ Home 703.392.1066 Cell 703.565.4801 _ _ _ _ .-.-.=\-. .-.-.=\-. .-.-.=\-. .-.-.=\-.
