State Park.........about 15 or so miles north of Vancouver, WA. Got in around noon and spent most of the afternoon trying to set up this *%&&** Hughes Network Dish. We're in the same place we generally park and I couldn't find the satellite to save my life. I probably spent over 2 hours moving the dish around. There's a tree that's kinda in my line of sight; but, I've never had problems before. Hell, the tree can't grow that much since last year. I finally got so disgusted that I drove into town, found a Sprint Store and got signed up for a Sprint Air Card. Got it working when we got back to the M/H. Don't have the best connection, around 60 - 80 % but I just checked the download and upload speed.........heck a little over 1 meg. down and 358 up!! I have 30 days to use it and I can turn it back in before 30 days is up if I so desire. The main drawback is that I only have 5 gigabites of downloads per month. I don't know how long it will take to go through that........should be ok with normal web browsing. If it continues to work as well as it is right now I may have to try and figure out how to drop Hughes Net without paying a big penalty...........I'm still stuck with it for at least another 10 months.
We'll be here through the Fourth and then on the 5th we all head for the Sand Dunes at Coos Bay for 6 days. Then back to Vancouver and Paradise Point.
Weather should be cooling down a bit for the weekend..........no plans for the next couple of days so guess we'll just kick back and see what happens.
Gimme a call Larry.
Later. W&B

Just to let you know...we have a Verizon card and the 5 Gig limit. We do a lot of picture, scrapbooking, Geocaching, email stuff; and we never run out. We do keep close track of our weekly use though, because it can get expensive to run over the limit.
