I'm actually pretty content not having cell service - or being able to use it as an excuse. I can't see the tower from my house, it's off to the west. There's some really distant ones that I can see with a set of really good binoculars.
I get one or two bars - most of the time. It also varies a bit based on the weather. When I do talk on it, there's a delay and echo. If I head towards the village it clears up quickly. If I go the opposite way, other than a short interval, I can be without cell service for a few hours.
I kinda like that. I'm not sure you know how remote I am. Well, I'm not that remote - but I also live in the most heavily forested state in the country. We're still wild country here.
Honestly sounds nice. Being connected all the time hasn't done good things for the world at least I don't think it has people used to go home and work wouldn't email call ect. now not so much. I may no know how remote you are but I shall find out someday.
Look between Rangeley and Eustis on Google Maps - by following Rt. 16 out of the village and to the east.
Put it this way. there's a 100' wide path cut though the forest just so that the trees don't come down on the power lines. You'll see it, if you decide to check it out.
(It's the guitar thread tonight, so I'm pretty slow responding.)
I knew you said Rangeley before I was actually checking out the terrain earlier today, trying to get a sense for the area before I drive out there. Just in case I'm without GPS for some reason.Thats okay I've got a million and 1 things going on tonight too my oldest turned 6 today so its been birthday and now that she is down I am back to finding a better chat solution for poal. also looking for what I am going to do next for work. I do have to say I think my time in education is probably over sad but short of opening my own charter I don't think I could go work for the ISD or another charter things are so, windowsy and there is quite a fair bit of corruption going on at least in my states ed department.
