   High tech!. I had a digital voice recorder for the mileage when I crossed   
   state lines but that was back in the '90s. I don't think I would make it   
   today with electronic log books, GPS trackers, and so forth. I had certain   
   cowboy tendencies.   
      
   Sort of on topic for the mobile groups -- I would have given my left nut   
   for a cell phone. Trying to find a working pay phone when you're driving a   
   65' long RV wasn't fun.
