We packed our little camper and left Fort Lauderdale driving to Heber Springs Arkansas where we were booked to do our seminars for the Workamper Rendezvous. The week went well and they've already asked us to return next year because they got such good feedback
about our seminars. After leaving Arkansas, we headed north. We had extra time before our next gig so made a side-trip to Kansas City to see our musician friends, Victor and Penny play in their hometown. Here's a little movie we put together. November 1 was our final scheduled seminar for this season. Moline, Illinois and the Quad-Cities Computer Society. We've presented for these folks 5 times before and they always make us feel so welcome. See our October photo album for more pictures, and our October Blog for the rest of the story.
By the way, our pictures, Blogs, Web Albums, maps, and videos are all examples of what we teach. You can learn how to plan, preserve, and share your travels (or your life.) It makes the experience that much more enjoyable to get creative and share pictures, maps, stories, and movies with friends and family. Check out our Learning Library of Tutorial Videos, just go to GeeksOnTour.com and click the menu for Tutorial Videos. There are plenty of free videos in addition to our members-only content to whet your appetite for learning. |

Black and White with Google Photos |
I Cheated ...I did not use Black and White film! I didn’t set my digital camera to take black and white photos. I didn’t even use my phone’s capability to take photos in black and white mode. I took color pictures. A few of these, like the lighthouse, are even old color pictures I chose, then I used very simple editing tools to create the B&W
images. |

Google Maps finds your next rest stop |
There are lots of apps that can tell you where the rest stops are, but they don’t know where you’re going. It can be a pain to check the rest stop app, then go back and check your GPS, then go back to the rest stop app, etc. Since Google Maps, on my iPhone, is doing my navigating, it knows the route I’m going to follow. I can ask Google Maps to search for Rest Areas along
that route ... |
