Most of the longest trips that I can remember included having little technology and someone to accompany me.. I was raised in the days of audiobooks on cassette to keep my attention on long car rides in places where the radio would be pointless. We all enjoy the radio until we reach somewhere in the boondocks that music seems to cease...
At this point technology has failed you. Your likely going to reach for your phone and attempt to stream your music into your stereo.. No luck.... DEAD ZONE...
What do you do?
On some trips... even shorter trips to Missouri I enjoy delving deep into my driving partners life., I create small talk about the weather... and then attempt to reach into the depths of their childhood. There is something about human contact, understanding that modern conveniences can't seem to touch. I tend to find that the most effective way to learn about someone is from being stuck in a car with them for hours..
