Life in the woods...

Last weekend we took the children camping for a long weekend. My folks own about 75 acres in the woods and we love to camp there. While up there we quickly realize just how different living in the woods is from city life. My parents cannot get high speed internet at their house. They simply live without internet because dial-up is so frustrating. They also cannot get cell phone service at their house or on their property. I have no idea if cell signal boosters would help them or not. As things stand they have to drive about 3 miles down the road to get a faint cell phone signal. My children just cannot imagine how I managed to survive a childhood in the woods without all of today's modern technology. What they do not realize is that most of the technology available today didn't exist when I was their age.
