Yep, now that I have a wireless network, I suppose I could
technically buy another wireless card, do a pringles can antenna and
put a camera down there but then I'd have to put a PC down there too
which means either run a generator constantly or run a LONG extension
cord - so although it is getting closer to the realm of possibility,
its just not gonna happen anytime soon. :-)
What I think would be cool is a GPS receiver in each truck along
with some sort of transmitter - you can go to a web page showing
the BBQ map (overlaid on an aerial photo) and watch the little
blips move around the forest. :-) Who knows - check back in 10
