We Have The Technology!

[Wayne SW/MO]

We've had Altell, now Verizon, for many years and always had 4 bars in the park. We didn't have 3G until I saw there was 4G. I panicked and thought I would fall so far behind it would be like computers, I would never catch up.

Hey Cricket I just switch to my onstar when I am down there and I am fine. No one has that number except by my choice. No answering machine either.

Glad to hear you utilize your onstar.. It has always seemed to me to be a pretty cool service for the cost...

I just wanted to put this out there, we are at a trout park with crowded conditions. Expecting people to unplug themselves from the cell phone is unrealistic. If you're trying to get away from the noise of the ringers, it would probably be easier to go outside the park and fish than to give the guy a dirty look. And this is unfortunately a part of life that we are going to have to accept with today’s world.

I can't really think of a time that I have actually been distracted by a phone call on the stream. I usually have mine on, but it's on silent as my life isn't that important to bother with(yet). As far as other peoples phones, I hardly notice them while fishing. I guess I'm usually concerned more or less with enjoying the day/cursing at trout than what some other guy is doing to ruin his day.

Interesting that this topic has been brought up, as I guess Yellowstone is debating as to whether to add cell phone service in the park. Part of me would like it to stay as it is, kind of a sanctuary from society in that I heard zero phones during that week even when I was in the stores or eating lunch in the park. But in that park there are major safety concerns, and I'm sure that hikers/campers would appreciate having emergency access to cell phones. However, the idea of ruining(maybe too strong of wording) wilderness would take away something special from that area. Quite the conundrum.
