Looking back over the 2008 Wonder Explore Believe Tour, it’s clear that I could have done a much better job sharing my adventure. Most times I was too busy doing, to make time for reporting. In 2009 I will do a significantly better job communicating via my blog, audio and video podcasts along with my Twitter , FaceBook , and MySpace accounts and my SPOT unit.

To that end, with thanks for the suggestion of my good friend Photographer Michael Mauro , I will be using my iPhone in a much larger degree to update these formats in a substantially timelier fashion. With the addition of the MotoSAT system, I will no longer be hampered by location in updating the website as well.

The 2009 Conservation through Exploration Tour took a huge leap forward over the holiday with the installation of the Xantrex RS3000 Sine Wave Inverter/Charger along with the Xantrex C40 Multi-Function Charge Controller. It was my good fortune to spend a few days earlier this week with Don Wilson from Xantrex learning about the energy management system that will enable me to power and recharge ALL electrical devices on board the Green RV with the natural energies of the sun and wind. I stopped by his office in Elkhart , Indiana just following the taping of a news segment for WSBT – please see the video ‘How to Green your RV ‘ posted on my YouTube page.

Over the next 10 days I will be finalizing the Conservation through Exploration Tour and creating specific ways for everyone interested to be more involved in all aspects of the journey.
