Received an email today from a friend who wrote that he was going on an adventure that would take him "far from cell phone and internet range."
His intention to get as far as possible from civilization is commendable in my book (I dwell on doing just such all the time), but I must admit that it does bring up concerns - what happens if you get lost or hurt or worse? How will anyone know how to find you? That sort of thing.
It also provokes the question/thought "Just when did 'getting away from it all' evolve into 'getting out of cell phone and internet range'?"
BTW, for those interested he is going on a week-long hiking/camping trip in the Copper Canyon area of the Sierra Madre Occidental of Chihuahua, Mexico.
