From Palo Duro to Red
River, New Mexico
We are SO going to enjoy this trip! John can listen to his MP3 player and read
his history books; I can lounge around looking at our photos and writing the
blog. You guys are gonna LOVE IT!
Whoa, there, girl.
Not so fast. You just thought you
were gonna blog online. Guess what? No 3G signal to be had anywhere in New Mexico
except Albuquerque. Even though we have
the MiFi, and it sends a strong signal, and the computer receives it loud and
clear, if there is no 3G, there’s no internet connection. Not even on the iPhone.
Aargh!
So, besides blogging, how am I supposed to handle our
personal business, like paying bills and putting our Dish satellite service on
vacation hold or check account balances?! We even have to drive from our campsite beside the trout
stream at Junebug campground INTO the town of Red River to get enough phone
signal to call AT&T.
I’m sitting in
the van trying to stay connected to
the AT&T agent to figure out the problems, and John is strolling through
town taking in the ambience. Sigh.
The third agent I go to without having the call dropped
tells me New Mexico isn’t the greatest connection state they have (in a whole
lot more words than that!) However,
going through Colorado should make for pretty good connection, and should definitely
have no problems in Yellowstone.
She was right about Colorado, but Yellowstone has been a
whole ‘nuther story...
