I am looking for information on using email while on the hike. I am doing a fundraiser for the Alzheimer’s Assoc., Hospice, and a local organization serving mentally retarded adults while on the hike. I get nothing, but the satisfaction of helping others. (It’ll provide some motivation to finish the 850ish miles to Katahdin. I leave July 1, 08)
In any event, I am trying to find a device I can use to send home regular emails with pictures. The idea is to offer the folks that are sponsoring the hike to both watch my progress via GPS coordinates, and read notes and see pictures that will be posted on my web site, while I am on the trail. It seems that there should be something cheaper than a Blackberry, or Palm. Thanks
