Hi All
I will be hiking next year and would like to know if there is a consensus
on
which cell service is the best choice for a thru hike, AT&T or Verizon? I
am
fully aware of the limited cell coverage in the mountains and other
sparsely
populated areas.
I ask now because Unicel is leaving my State and I will be getting new cell
service soon.
Thank you all

RidgeRunner,
Some folks will swear that Verizon has better coverage but I have used
both Verizon and ATT and think ATT is just as good. I use ATT
currently. Sometimes one will work but not the other, but I don't
think one is a clear winner on the PCT.
I am a bit behind on updating my web site but I maintain a PCT cell
phone report at:
http://www.pctmap.net/cell/index.html
Several hikers have been sending me cell phone updates this summer
while I was away hiking (or swamped at work the past few weeks). Look
for new information on the cell phone report in the next week or so.
If you decide to go with something like a Blackberry, the ATT (gsm
versions) have better battery life than the cdma versions sold by
Verizon.
-Halfmile
PS - I will start posting more free PCT maps online soon too. Free
down loadable maps from the Mexican border all the way to Crater Lake,
Oregon should be ready in the next few months.

Greetings - I just had a nice visit with Yeti and Miss Potato-head
this evening at a picnic table across the road from the postoffice.
They are healthy, enjoying themselves and very happy...

Soul Sista,
You may change your mind if you see Switchback strutting down the trail
in shorts and combat boots....he looks so adorable.
And those legs, those hairy legs of his, protruding out of the combat
boots, will just absolutely drive your wild.
Your romance motor will ignite and you will be powerless to resist his
Caveman magnetism and charm...you will be totally smitten by his rough
masculinity.
With this my friends I will say again, farewell, so long, Auf Wiedersehen,
goodbye.
I have said all I wanted to say, perhaps more than I should have said.
I am afraid that I have created a MONSTER....the hiker women of America
have been made aware of Switchback's masculine sexual magnetism and will
be attracted to him like moth to a flame, will pursue him relentlessly on
the trail and saying any more will just put him at greater risk than he
already is.
Hope to see you all on the trail someday....until then....''HAPPY TRAILS.''
