My last tour, I used my 700c touring bike without dynohub instead of a 26 inch bike which has a dynohub. I was often on the hunt for an outlet. Photo is of a power outlet in an unoccupied campsite near the hiker biker site I was in, I was charging my tablet with a USB charger, using a camera Lithium Ion battery charger for my camera, a charger for the AA rechargeables for my GPS. I had a five foot long charging cord for my tablet that came in handy in some restaurants where the outlet was not quite as close as I would have liked.



The photo also highlights how useful a 3 into 1 outlet adapter can be so you can plug more devices into an outlet.

I thought that a notebook required a pen or pencil as a user interface.
