My Kids' road trip with jinx - Page 3

Perry Winkle · 06-28-2013, 01:47 PM

It's a dry heat.

lumberjim · 06-28-2013, 01:59 PM

Sho nuff is. I hope they are staying in the shade and drinking lots of water!

ZenGum · 06-28-2013, 06:43 PM

That is rather warm, isn't it? And it was a long drive.

Are they in training to visit Down Under?

Seriously, looks like a great trip all round, and I love the messages from Spence.

Hi to Jinx if she sees this.

It's amazing how closely you can follow someone like this. Good thing you're his dad, else this would be seriously creepy.

lumberjim · 06-29-2013, 10:31 AM

That's what he said when I sent him a picture of the campsite he was in the other night.

I believe the direct quote was," yeah, that's not creepy or anything"

This program is really cool actually... it is called life 360. It shows police, fire, and sex offenders, on the map. You can turn off or hide from the GPS if you don't want dad snooping on you.

I actually used it to find Amanda at the Dave Matthews concert last night. Of course I had no signal when I got close to her but it got me into the right area

They are laying low today hanging around the campsite and swimming. They found a better campground that has roofs over the campsites and the nice pool Name: uploadfromtaptalk1372544258881.jpg

As in, police stations, fire stations and home address of sex offenders, or the real-time locations of these?

Maybe in the civilian version.

Oh wait, that isn't

anymore.

Of course, the system can be beaten if you leave your mobile phone at home, or better, get someone else to carry it. But that would involve a teenager not having their mobile with them, which means the system is indeed unbeatable.

It's Ripley's birthday today. I got a text from her titled 'birthday pint.'

Kids did the Grand Canyon yesterday. Looks like they're heading toward the West Coast today.
