Ever since my school district started giving the teachers three weeks off for winter break, I’ve been using the extra week to do some traveling with my dad. Big surprise, we go to Texas to look for traces of Robert E. Howard. This year, I was hoping to post while on the road, but internet service has been pretty spotty. Here it is day 4 and this is the first time I’ve had a solid connection.
For those that would like to follow us in our travels, we’re running APRS (Automatic Position Reporting System) via the ham radio. Go to http://aprs.fi and search for km6gf-2. That will pull up a Google map and show you where we were the last time we got a hit (see picture above). The amateur radio repeaters that upload our position to the internet are pretty spotty the further away from “civilization” we get, but you’ll get the idea.
So far, we’ve been to Del Rio, Eagle Pass, Crystal City, Catarina, Poteet, and George West. I’ll try to add some more photos later, but here’s a shot of the old depot in Poteet:

Thanks Rob! Blessings to you and your dad having fun and good luck! If anyone can find more REH stuff you guys can! And maybe some long lost relative, neighbor, or townfolk will have something of great interest that has been overlooked all these years.
