I thought we needed an area to post apps that help us on the road.
Here are a few I use:
Campendium - helpful app to find places to camp
Public Lands - has nice overlays and maps
Trucker Path - where the truck stops are and is updated by truckers as to are the lots filled
Freecampsites.net. Not an app but I use it a lot
Sanidumps - for those of us who need to find dump stations
GasBuddy - has where you can get the cheapest gas near to you
Roadtrippers - has a lot of info on scenic routes and things to do along the way
Only in your state - neat facts and things to see and do by state
National Geographic Park Maps - nice
Gas Guru - cheapest gas finder
Roadside attractions - this one ya gotta pay a little for but it lists tons of funny and cheesy roadside attractions. Has an interactive map
Anyone care to add?

Financing vs. paying cash shuttle bus |

I'm on the fence of whether I should finance a newer model used low mileage shuttle bus to do my build or getting an older one that I can pay cash for but has alot higher mileage. I can afford both ways. Seeing as I will be keeping the bus as my home for life and I have no S&B ,any other vehicles financed, and good credit. I am at a cross roads. If I financed one then I could use my cash I have saved for the build and could be out of this TT in a short period of time. But I hate borrowing money. If things go south with work etc then in reality my "home" could get repossessed. Any and all opinions welcomed. Thank you ! David

Desktop computer question |

The last couple of nights, I've hit Shut Down in the evening, and it says the usual about how it's updating the crap, andit's got to do two or three things, and not to shut it down. Fine, I just leave it and go to bed.
The problem is that when I check it the next day, it's still got that warning up, and the little circle thing is still whirling around. The only way to do anything is to flip the switch on the electrical thingy that everything plugs into.
Does anyone have any idea why it would be doing that, and what I should do about it?
Computers are electricity. Electricity is magic. If you can explain, please use small words and short sentence.
Thanks!

where to take a real bath |

I sometimes remember when I had a nice big bath tub. It's one thing I really miss. A really good shower is great, but a bath! Oh, that would be something. (And Jim, if you could restrain yourself, please do)
Other than getting a gym membership with a place that has a Hot Tub or Spa, I think that finding some hot springs would be the next best thing.
Most of the hotels I've been to don't have bath tubs, anyone know some that do? Or spas? Am I asking in the wrong place.
Thanks in advance for any help,
Pat

https://yro.slashdot.org/story/18/03/17/...ime-scenes
An anonymous reader quotes the public records reporter from North Carolina TV station WRAL: In at least four investigations last year -- cases of murder, sexual battery and even possible arson at the massive downtown fire in March 2017 -- Raleigh police used search warrants to demand Google accounts not of specific suspects, but from any mobile devices that veered too close to the scene of a crime, according to a WRAL News review of court records... The demands Raleigh police issued for Google data [i][in two homicide cases] described a 17-acre area that included both homes and businesses... The account IDs aren't limited to electronics running Android. The warrant includes any device running location-enabled Google apps, according to Raleigh Police Department spokeswoman Laura Hourigan...
On March 16, 2017, a five-alarm fire ripped through the unfinished Metropolitan apartment building on West Jones Street... About two months later, Raleigh police obtained a search warrant for Google account IDs that showed up near the block of the Metropolitan between 7:30 and 10 p.m. the night of the fire... In addition to anonymized numerical identifiers, the warrant calls on Google to release time stamped location coordinates for every device that passed through the area. Detectives wrote that they'd narrow down that list and send it back to the company, demanding "contextual data points with points of travel outside of the geographical area" during an expanded timeframe. Another review would further cull the list, which police would use to request user names, birth dates and other identifying information of the phones' owners.[/i]
"Do people understand that in sharing that information with Google, they're also potentially sharing it with law enforcement?" asks a former Durham prosecutor who directs the North Carolina Open Government Coalition at Elon University. And Stephanie Lacambra, criminal defense staff attorney at the Electronic Frontier Foundation, also criticized the procedure. "To just say, 'Criminals commit crimes, and we know that most people have cell phones,' that should not be enough to get the geo-location on anyone that happened to be in the vicinity of a particular incident during a particular time." She believes that without probable cause the police department is "trying to use technology as a hack for their job... It does not have to be that we have to give up our privacy rights in order to participate in the digital revolution."
Nathan Freed Wessler, staff attorney with the ACLU's Speech, Privacy and Technology Project, put it succinctly. "At the end of the day, this tactic unavoidably risks getting information about totally innocent people."
