    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Yuppie 911

    We've been using our SPOT for 2 years now. It is great for giving our families peace of mind when we are out exploring. They also enjoy being able to follow our trips through our OK messages. I travel some for work and sometimes can't get a cell signal so I use it to let my wife know where...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West May 2010 Utah Spectacular

    Wow, great trip and pics. We tried to drive into Cathedral from the south last fall but got stopped by a thunderstorm at the bentonite hills, talk about slick! We were lucky to be able to retrace our tracks and get out. Your report inspires me to get back out there and try again. Thanks!

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Spot
