[RC] Cell phones on the trail - Ridecamp Guest

Please Reply to: Bill Coburn endrider@xxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
==========================================

I too resisted getting a cell phone for a long time, especially since the early 
ones didn't seem to function in any place that I wanted to be.  But, my wife 
and four adults children twisted my arm. Also, a freind pointed out that even 
if my phone didn't work in some canyon where I might be resting with a broken 
leg, it might be easier to crawl to the top on the nearest hill than all the 
way back to camp.  I caved.
I have Verizon service, and I'm happy to report that it worked quite well at 
the ridecamps of both "Run for the Gold" (Mariposa), and "Gold Country" 
(Georgetown).  Fortunately I didn't have to test it at the bottom of some 
canyon!
I think this new-fangled technology stuff may be a good thing.
Bill
