But when you consider that stations such as Drysdale are a million acres you
can appreciate it can be a very long way to the next phone.
If you have not done so already, I would be impressing upon your family
that you may go several days at a time without being able to phone them and so
they should not panic.

After worrying my wife sick on a trip to Chile with no coverage and no idea whether I was alive or dead, I now travel with a SPOT device. Has options to locate me and message whether I'm OK or not. Neat little device.

I've got aeroguard on my list, but haven't packed it yet. Mustn't forget!
Can't wait to see your photos! |
Haven't had a chance to process much yet, Mike, but here are some to wet the appetite.
Cheers.
