Tonik Posted October 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2016 We discussed this earlier, but wanted to remind everyone about this possibility of a route change Saturday. If we get our asses to Beckley on time and get our asses rolling from there quickly and haul ass down 16 we can take our asses across 421 'The Snake' on the way to Johnson City. If we don't, our asses will be slabbing it for 90 minutes or so at the end of the day. No promises, we have a large group and limited daylight. But I am willing to try and pull it off.

Tonik Posted October 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2016 421 would add an hour BTW, but worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was bored and curious all at the same time so I mapped the entire day with the proposed added sections. This makes me happy. https://goo.gl/maps/qXSzVLFe7xA2 Edited October 11, 2016 by 2talltim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonik Posted October 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2016 Here are two new Sygic files. Sat morning Parkersburg to Beckley meet spot. Before you start navigating with it drag point J just a little further south on Paint Creek Rd. so it forces you south from there and on to 77. The other is from a gas station in Marion to the hotel Saturday via 421 if we go that way. That Shell as you turn left at the bottom of 16 in Marion is a good re-meet point if we split up on 16.

We won't vote until we get to Marion and see where we are at. But anyone can do whatever they want at that point of course. I expect we will be fine and will be able to do it.

JustinNck1 Posted October 11, 2016 Report Share Posted October 11, 2016 (edited) Just to let anyone know who hasn't been in this area, once you get to Beckley, everything turns into amazing motorcycle roads. 421 is one of the best. Time permitting, id love to ride it. Edited October 11, 2016 by JustinNck1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marion 421 Johnson City.itf Parkersburg to Beckley.itf I really need to switch out my SD card in my phone. It only has a 16G in it and once I loaded the Ohio map for Sygic it was full. I bought a 64G card months ago and have never switched it out, still sitting on my dresser in the package. Then again I love getting lost with no data service it can de fun sometimes.

With Sygic and maps for damn near half the country and 800 or so songs I still am only using about 12 GB of my storage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well this is the same SD card Ive had for probably 6 or 7 years(maybe longer) and when I got it I transferred all my pics and videos over from my previous cards. There is something like 3500 pictures and over 100 videos, maybe 500 or 600 songs. I just never delete anything..LOL I have kids that are into sports and school activities and I just use my phone for everything when It comes to pictures. I thought about just clearing it out and putting everything on my external HD which I probably will do but the wife needed a new card because her phone only has a 8G in it and I was going to give her the 16G, so I ordered the 64G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or use googles cloud storage that you get for free with your Google Account. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mango_sv Posted October 11, 2016 Report Share Posted October 11, 2016 RAVPower Filehub, 5 in 1 SD Card USB Reader, Wireless Hard Drive Companion WiFi Bridge Sharing Media Streamer 3000mAh External Battery Pack, White https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00AQUMZRA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_iWs.xbPVZ5SNY For anyone packing small, this thing is amazing. Makes a wifi hotspot, you connect your phone to, plug in an SD card and external HD, and swap files back and forth. It will even link to the local wifi at the hotel and allow you pass thru to still access the Web as it works. With my 3 GoPros, DSLR, and 2 up on my FZ09, I didn't have room for the laptop. This was a storage wonder for the trip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustinNck1 Posted October 11, 2016 Report Share Posted October 11, 2016 I'm about to strangle the people at Samsung. They swore to me last week I would have my phone back by Friday, now their saying 4-5 business days. Finally talked to a manager, explained my situation, and their gonna overnight it to me so I have my phone for the trip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
