On October 1, we were just finishing up The RV Travel Club rally in Sevierville, TN. Then we started heading west towards Heber
Springs, Arkansas for the Workamper Rendezvous rally. We had a couple of weeks in between so we consulted the Roadtrippers website for some suggestions of sights along the way. Did you know that there is a full-size replica of the Parthenon in Nashville, Tennessee? We had to see that! It even houses the tallest
indoor sculpture in the western world - a gilded statue of Athena. Such great photo ops! We didn't have much energy for more sightseeing, so we arrived in Heber Springs a week early. We knew from last year that the campground was beautiful AND it has good Verizon service, so we were quite content to sit a week. We even produced Episode 154 of our YouTube show from
there.
Check out our photo album photo album for October for the results. That's it for October, now we're home and Chris is getting ready to fly to California for her annual
Google Product Experts conference. |

- 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 Tutorials. There are plenty of free videos in addition to our members-only content to whet your appetite for learning.

A map to share travel memories |
This is our map of travels just for the summer, May thru October! We appeared at 7 events, gave 30 seminars to nearly 3,000 people. It wasn't all work, we also got to play in 6 National Parks, several State Parks and museums, and 2 scuba diving trips! We use photo albums and blog posts to remember it, but nothing beats a map to see everything on one screen - then click the markers for
photos and blog posts! This article details how you can do this for your own travels. |

Are your cellphone photos backed up? Are you sure? |
This is probably the most important thing to know about using Google Photos. Many people assume, wrongly, that their photos are backed up. Then they delete them! NOooooooo

Do you want to teach about smartphones, but need some lesson plans? |
We know that many of our members are teachers themselves. We get the most compliments from other teachers because they understand the importance of preparation, lesson plans, and good examples with clear explanations.
If you have the opportunity to teach a group of adult learners about smartphones, but you don’t know what to teach them or how to present it, become
a member of Geeks on Tour and use our show notes for lesson plans. |
