Oh, and brand new IBM Selectric. Ha! You already offered the Betamax player back when I mentioned that our wedding was videotaped on that format.Still don't want it. 😉 I had a Craig combination AM/FM/ 8-track recorder back in high school and college. I made a few bucks converting records into tapes for friends. That's also when I discovered I could take one of the housings apart, make a loop just the right length, and make it play backwards for a few seconds. A bunch of us spent way too much time perfecting saying our name backwards so that when the loop was flipped, it sounded correct forward. 🙃 Electric typewriters are for girls... ::ducksandrunsforcover:: 1 ----- Steve - Northern Ohio, USA Wandering around on occasion, always lost. 2021 Toyota Land Cruiser - 5X8 Hiker Highway Deluxe Squaredrop Trailer 2023 Oliver Elite II Twin Hull #1360 on order - due March 29, 2023 Facebook - Instagram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawna and Scott Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 I use the one like Frank C has near the top of this thread. When traveling we usually allow plenty of time and dont mind taking the wrong turn somewhere. After all we are exploring this great country so many times it isnt really a wrong turn so much as going a different way...lol 2 Vincent, Ohio | 2022 Elite ll, Hull #1182, 2014 Ford F150 EcoBoost, Max Towing PKG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator+ ScubaRx Posted January 26 Moderator+ Share Posted January 26 While traveling in West Virginia our GPS showed us a neat shortcut between two parallel roads. Cool. I should have known to turn around when we came to a power line hanging so low across the road that I had to lift it up with a telescoping fiberglass pole to get past it… Carry a paper map and use your common sense. 1 Steve, Tali and the dogs: Reacher and Rocky plus our beloved Storm, Maggie and Lucy (all waiting at the Rainbow Bridge) 2008 Legacy Elite I - Outlaw Oliver, Hull #026 | 2014 Legacy Elite II - Outlaw Oliver, Hull #050 | 2022 Silverado High Country 3500HD SRW Diesel 4x4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Mike and Carol Posted January 26 Moderators Share Posted January 26 We were camped near Asheville and were meeting @topgun2and his wife for lunch in Brevard. We checked the GPS which showed that the shortest route was also the most scenic, mountains and back roads. BIG MISTAKE! Besides being way late for lunch we had some very frustrating moments when small back roads didn’t match GPS and cell coverage was lost. Out came the paper atlas. Lesson learned!

TexasGuy Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 While I love GPS for travel day I always pull out the Atlas to plan routes I’ve never been on before. I like to see route on the map and know my options. Funny to hear actual maps are a thing again. 2021 Legacy Elite II Hull #807 - 2021 F150 w/ 3.5L EB and max tow package Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
