Against our better judgment we are heading north. We have been at Bahia Honda 14 nights, the limit for a Florida state park, and they are throwing us out. This afternoon we depart the Keys and move to Flamingo in the southern corner of the Everglades National Park. Flamingo is about 135 miles away by road, but only 35 miles across Florida Bay, as the pelican flies. We will stay five nights in the park and will be "dry camping" there, meaning we will have no water or power hookups. No problem. We have a full tank of fresh water, empty waste tanks, a capable solar array and a generator with plenty of fuel. If the weather is good we plan to canoe or trike about every day.
According to the Verizon service coverage map we will be well out of Verizon's coverage area. This means no cell service and no internet service at camp. With luck, we may find a wi-fi hotspot in the village, but I'm not counting on it. We also have an external cellular antenna and amp, but we may be too far out to pull in a usable signal.

Hey, being away from the phone and the Internet is not all that bad. Enjoy the solitude.
What???? I can't believe that techno-geek-I-can't-live-without-the-latest-iphone Dave said that!!! How long have you been without phone or internet before you freaked out?
