Sorry, Michael -- I forgot to 'REPLY ALL' on that last message. Anyway, to
repeat, How do you all feel about cell phones on the PCT. We didn't carry one
on the AT, but saw a lot of them, and even borrowed one to make a call from a
rocky mountain top late in our hike. So, what is the concensus? How about
reception? Thanks,

Granny
