True enough. We have a cabin in the middle of nowhere in Washington, and there’s just enough signal to call or text for help but not enough for anyone to browse Instagram or check email. Something magical happens when we invite people out there. For the first hour or two, you notice folks sneaking off and holding their phones high. After a while, everyone gives up and the rest of the weekend we’re all present where we are. I’ll be pretty sad the day that stops happening, obvious benefits aside.
No longer having any places where you can't call for help will make things a lot safer.
