Russian River Meets the Pacific Ocean02 JUN 09 - 03 JUN 09 (Posted 9 AUG 09)Lisa and I had intended our destination, for the next couple of days, to be Bodega Bay, California (the city featured in Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds, a favorite of Lisa's) but we instead journeyed a bit more north to an even quieter and romantically remote town of Jenner, California and the Jenner Inn, Bed &

30 MAY - 01 JUN 09 (Posted 14 JUN 09)We made our way towards San Francisco Saturday for the weekend as Lisa wanted to visit Alcatraz. Although my wife and I prefer staying at small country bed-and-breakfasts, I decided to go urban for the weekend, selecting a suite at the San Francisco Hyatt Regency.Although the hotel is relatively older, it still has many ultra-modern design elements to its

25 MAY - 29 MAY 09 (Posted 09 JUN 09)Nearly a year after our visit to the great state of Wyoming, Lisa and I this time traveled to the great state of California for a combination business trip, holiday, and photo-shooting session.During our Wyoming speed trap hunting trip, we utilized two top-tier radar detectors within each of their respective company product lines, the Escort Passport 9500i and

We tearfully parted as friends from Juliana and Frank of the Devil's Tower Lodge and made our way towards Mount Rushmore, South Dakota.While driving on I-90 East we certainly felt like we were experiencing the best that South Dakota has to offer, as the interstate was much more heavily traveled with tourists coming to and going from the famous cliffs carved by Gutzon Borglum (who, incidentally,

As I had originally posted, if you run hard enough, long enough, the odds will eventually catch up with you no matter what equipment you use, and so they did (in New Jersey) and the hunter became the prey, but more on this later.Having finished with my official business in Vermont, I said my goodbyes to my wonderful host at the Grey Gables Mansion and my friend Chris and Carol to begin heading my

After a moderately restful Sunday, come Monday morning, I was off on the road again—this time to the North (and ultimately Canada).Part of the route I was traveling this morning is the route that I routinely make when I road "test" radar detectors, because its takes me through Warren County (western central NJ) where state troopers like to patrol (and sometimes pretty fiercely) using instant-on

I must admit I do not often get impressed or excited with radar detectors (at least in the last 12 years), but after driving with the Escort Passport 9500CI and Beltronics STiR, I am REALLY excited.I have not been excited in the last 12 years because I have found that radar detectors being released in the last decade or so pack in features with very little performance increases........that is

Once I settled down at a Deep Creek lodge Wednesday evening, I decided to create this blog, and created the first Speedtrap Hunter Blog post.First light Thursday morning, May 29th, and being refreshed from a good night's rest, I decided to put my two new stealth radar detectors—the Beltronics StiR and the Escort Passport 9500ci to their ultimate test...against...you guessed it, Virginia state

After spending a wonderful weekend and Monday holiday, speedtrap hunting with Steve and after having a couple of nice family bar-b-que outings with Steve's extended family, it was time to part ways for the time being and continue my speed trap hunting, solo.I decided to head southwest from Cleveland (by way of Columbus) to Cincinnati, home of the big three U.S. radar detector manufacturers:

Please forgive my delay in posting, as I have just completed an extended road trip of nearly 6000 miles through many states beginning with Steve (Speedtrap Hunter, Ohio) during the 2008 Memorial Day Holiday weekend.I too must write that I had a fabulous time with Steve, as well. He is as hardcore as I am and the amount of miles we laid down over a three day period was nothing short of

So many may wonder how did the Speed Trap Hunters prepare for their 4,000 mile hunt? We knew we had to be on top of our game to face Ohio's deadliest on this special weekend so we spent about 8 hours testing our setup ourselves in beautiful LEO friendly Sheffield Village, Ohio. The LEO's there, like so many other times, welcomed us with open arms. I was floored by their professionalism and

I must say that myself and the original Speed Trap Hunter had a weekend we will soon not forget.We encountered EVERYTHING that Ohio had to offer and thanks to the 9500CI, Veil G4, STI-R, and V1 we received zero tickets.In other words, Ohio was HUNTED! I want to give a special thanks to Sheffield Village for being SO PROFESSIONAL. In my opinion they have one of the most friendly departments in
