This is my take as a first-timer on the RAGBRAI trip, and have been documenting as I go along. Internet is scarce, so already I am a day behind on the uploading. Open power outlets are even more scarce, so with any hope, I can simultaniously charge my camera, computer, phone, and run an internet connection when I can find one. But that's half the fun so far - completely disconnected, roaming the vast beauty that is this state.
