Workamper Rendezvous - a great week in Arkansas

We were booked to give our seminars at the workamper Rendezvous event in Heber springs, Arkansas for the dates of October 16-20. It's nearly 1200 from home. In our old, big rig, we would have allowed 5 days: 4 days driving, 1 day to spare. In our Roadtrek we allowed 4: 3+1. As it turned out it only took 2.5. This event was a little different from most on that it was held at a community center and we parked a few miles away at a corps of engineers campground. We usually park right at the event, and we like the convenience of living where we work. But this was such a nice campground! We really appreciated beauty, and since we were there a couple days early, we enjoyed it for a whole week. The downside of traveling in our Roadtrek is that we only have the one vehicle, so we have to break camp, unplug, stow everything inside, and drive our motorhome to the event.

 I set up the secret email address so that I could post to this blog using my phone easily. Since there's no app that works for blogger on the phones this method of using email is my first choice.  In order to insert a photo I use the paperclip attachment button in the upper right. The picture does have to be on the device in order for this to work.  -- Blessed be the flexible, for they shall not be bent out of shape. Chris Guld GeeksOnTour.com

Photo Storage with Google Photos set to High Quality

Image
This post is to experiment with uploading large photos and see if it affects my Drive storage numbers. Right now, Drive storage reports that there is 1GB being used by Google Photos. If I upload some full-size images from my C drive, will the GP drive space used change? The following 6 photos are right at 16 megapixels - all are over 6MB in file size. I think we'll see that when I find them in Google Photos (thru the archive) they will be compressed. Original = 5184X3456 pixels 6.2 MB, Album Archive = 2048X1365 pixels 481K  Original 5184X3456 pixels 6.2MB, Album Archive = 2048X1365 pixels 367K Original = 5184x3456 pixels 6.0 MB, Album Archive = 2048x1365 pixels 368K  Original = 5130x1549 pixels 6.7 MB, Album Archive = 2048x1365 pixels 524K Original = 5184x3456 pixels 6.8 MB, Album Archive = 2048x1365 pixels 439K Original = 5184x3456 pixels 6.2 MB, Album Archive = 2048x1365 pixels 531K Original = 5184x3456 pixels 6.5 MB, Album Archive = 2048x1
