No doubt! :-) The told us they are about 100 years behind in technology in Copper Harbor, with a shortage of phone lines (why they don't have them in the hotel rooms). And said (seriously) that if we were to move to Copper Harbor and wanted a phone in our house, we would have to get on a list and wait for someone to die! My boss is really paranoid about me being gone, so I'm currently equipped with two different kinds of cell phones (w/laptop connections), which may (or may not) have spotty coverage there, and an acoustic coupler for connecting to pay phones! Did you know they still make acoustic couplers? I didn't! And yes, they are still as slow as they used to be ... > >Copper Harbor Michigan.

We'd talked about rafting the entire Colorado River through the Grand Canyon (277 miles - 7 days) this fall, but it looks like that'll have to wait another year (at least). Then I'll REALLY be out of touch! Maybe I can get my boss to spring for a satellite phone for that trip. ;-) - BS |
