RE: (ET) electrak swap meet
Better then that Steve, lets get them in a big towing caravan, towing
each other and the Mega Generator. They could drive non=stop by taking
turns toeing. So lets see that again.
3000 miles / 6 mph = 500 hrs. Allowing for a nominal nature call, and a
chance to swing through the dive in at McD's they could drive a solid 20
hrs a day bringing the time down to a short vacation of only 25 days.
Now I no some of you West Coast Er's are starting to think, wait we
still need to get back. Heck, us E coast ers will gladly get you a
ticket back, west, and store and maintain your E equipment until you
return next year for the second annual event. :-)

Just tow a generator or a (large) trailer of solar panels! Let's see --
say 3000 miles / 6 MPH ,10 Hrs per day
- see, it only will take 50 days!
