I had the same situation with my daughter driving between San Francisco and Los Angeles along US 101 for a number of years in the 1960's, except that my daughter slept like a stone in the car until she was about six.
I handled it the same way Elecraft has done. In my case, I taught her to read a map. That kept her engrossed for many trips, following our progress along the 400 mile route. As she grew old enough she exercised her arithmetic skills to calculate the mileage and travel time. The corollary for Elecraft are the posts saying "Whoo-hoo I'm now XXX on the list!" 73, Ron AC7AC -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Vic K2VCO Sent: Friday, August 03, 2012 1:12 PM To: Elecraft Reflector Subject: [Elecraft] Are we there yet? Many years ago, my daughter was 4 (she is now 44). We used to drive between San Francisco and Fresno a lot, and she would sit in the back seat and ask "are we there yet?" constantly. It drove us bloody nuts.
