Communication at Base Camp/Yes, we have WiFi....

Most folks who have come to base camp in the past know not to expect cell service. However, it sometimes comes as a shock to newcomers that they cannot get a signal here; don't even try (cell service is only 15 miles away in Marion)....

However, here are a few helpful hints about keeping in touch with the outside world while at base camp....

• Bring a calling card. The common area phone will allow you to use a calling card to call long distance; you can pick up a card on your way (they're pretty cheap).
• Bring your laptop. We have WiFi at base camp in the common area.
• Turn out. Maybe your week(s) with the crew is your way of escaping the phone, fax, email, pager, etc....

Cheers,

Kerry
