Wireless access

I have talked my wife into going to the nascar race in June @Pocono. We are bringing our fifth wheel trailer down and staying on the fence in the infield for 4 days. She is taking an advanced nursing course and really could use some on-line access time. Here in canada we have sticks like usb flash drives that are charged about 30/month on a 1 year contract for wireless signal. If I was to get her one of those it would most likely have huge roaming charge fees as our cellular providers are far more exspensive than those in the us of a. Does anyone know of a short term plan that would work for her to use in Pennsylvania?

Thanks

Fine a FREE WiFi access spot such as a Panera Bread restaurant or some of the hotels that offer free wifi.

We are camping in the infield for several days. If the amount of books she has spread out over her desk is any indication of what she is bringing I do not want to haul them around. I have never been to Pocono but the camping book says that their are no in-out priviledges with our vehicle once we are in, this is why I figured a stick she could use while in the rv would be the way to go. We have several friends down that way that we could give it to when done if that was a possibility. I was hoping for some kind of disposable or pay as you go type of deal

When you get there, go mingle and hand out beer. Someone will have Wi-Fi and offer you access....

Sometimes the simplest thing is so hard to think of. Thanks Tim I will e-mail the track. I am sitting here thinking what an idiot I am over not thinking about doing that. As for handing out beer, theirs always extras for anyone who wants one. Now my whisky don't touch that!!
