A quick blog from my phone…in the woods. You might have seen photos from this wooded, mountainous campsite, that I uploaded from my phone. The idea that I uploaded it from the campsite itself seems to defeat the purpose of “getting away from it all” that accompanies the notion of camping.
However, having this technology is not without it’s up side. Although I’ve been obsessively following the movements of everyone back home via Twitter and Facebook, which leads to mixed emotions I’d rather be able to table for the extent of this trip; I can actually use my 3G wundertool to look up the rules to long-forgotten card games, or lyrics to campfire songs to amuse the young ones (you know, like “2 Legit 2 Quit” as requested my my 5 year old nephew), or even play music while we play these games. So I guess it’s handy.
So I’m blogging about how technology shouldn’t follow you into the woods, but I find it kind of excellent that it can. As long as we’re on the mountain top and not in a valley…
More later, cause it’s hard to type on this damn thing.
