AAA TripTik

so we need to find a GPS solution or become prescient.

My other Dad worked with computers before he retired. He prefers the paper AAA TripTik (Note 1), no battery required. He goes to his local AAA and tells them when and where he is going. Just before the trip, they mail it to him. If I remember correctly, it is like a spiral note book with maps instead of pages. On the map itself, they used a green highlighter to trace the route.

For unexpected surprises, like a 12 car pile up, he uses a 20 year old CB radio.
