It would be possible, but the cell service is limited/non existent in most of the areas we go. A few places that we camp have decent service. On T7 the talkative group went silent when we had 3G at the campsite the second night.

Yeah, no live streaming. No cell phones too, if I can help it, ahem, Rory.

I'd like to do some filming if I can. I just hate holding up the train.

If anything, you'll be helping me too! Seeing my truck in one of your videos, plus learning your filming techniques can only help me.

:awesome: I've yet to see a list this long. We may need to get creative with parking, camp arrangements, etc. Maybe when we circle the wagons at meadow knob, we all just back in this time.
