Also,Scott,you bring your laptop,I think how do you pack it to keep it safe?
I may try to bring this iPad to email my wife.We have sprint and the coverage don't seem to be good there.
Thx.Keith

I'll have a Verizon hot spot with me - it should work there. I don't remember there being wifi at the Lodge.

I always wrap mine in bubble wrap, place it in a plastic bag and then surround it with soft items . Just did a Key West ride this week (2200 miles) and the computer was fine.

Yes, there is(was) WIFI at the lodge last year. Actually the only place at the campground with WIFI is the lodge.......
I also can hot-spot my cell phone if needed.

I just pack my laptop in my soft carry bag. I can either put it in my top tail trunk or pack it in my duffle bag setting on the seat.
I wrapped it in a plastic garbage bag to "rainproof" it.

DOH!

Of course there is wifi at the lodge - I seem to remember people had a problem connecting to it - maybe we even found it and unplugged it to reset it?
