Day 11. Afternoon. June 10th.
Did the rim drive this AM and took the above pix. No cell phone signal or wifi here, although we did manage to poach on some other camper’s wifi signal yesterday and get our email.
Ranger has a leg up – yup, pun intended - on us two legged critters when it comes to communication. We use cell phone or email and are often frustrated because the signal’s poor or nonexistent. Ranger, however, always has a strong signal. He is instantly connected to pmail when he steps out of the EDGE or the pickup, due to olfactory senses 100 times more sensitive that ours. Based on our observations, pmail has many merits: it’s always interesting, there’s no spam, there’s no ‘forward to 10 people or else’ threats, and there are no political/religious/illegal immigrant rants.
In case the above was overly subtle, let me make it perfectly clear to those who forward said emails: please stop! I don’t read it, I don’t forward it, I delete it the second I see it. And, I’ll bet 99% of the other recipients do the same.
The canyon wren summers here and it has a song very similar to the house wrens that nested near the farm house in Minnesota. Wrens aren’t that plentiful in OR or AZ, and it’s a real pleasure to hear them again. One could say……oh, this is a bad one……… that hearing that song again was renovating.
Does Ranger sense to stay way back from the edge, or do you need to keep him on a firm leash?
