Just a word of caution or warning or heads-up or whatever you want to call it....once your excursion ventures out into the vast expanses of the Dakotas, Montana, and Idaho, there may be quite a few areas where you will not be able to connect using your mobile card (or have a cellphone signal either). Looking at Sprint's Data/Broadband map shows quite a bit of "No Coverage" areas out thatta way. I know when we were up in Glacier N.P. for a few days a couple years ago, we had
NO cellphone signal at all...none....nada...zilch.
So when you get around Minneapolis, you might want to do a little extra planning ahead for those points farther down the line. Fortunately,
ALL of the hotels we stayed at, even in the most remote areas of the high plains, Big Sky, and mountains, had high speed internet available........
EXCEPT for Many Glacier Lodge inside Glacier N.P. The Lodge has
no internet,
no TV's,
no A/C,
no elevators (5 stories....stairs only & high elevations....we had a good, free workout each day! Bellboys carry everyone's luggage up the stairs to the rooms......Gives fresh meaning to the term "luggage".
) Of course with all the beautiful scenery, wildlife, and good food to enjoy, we didn't miss any of those (so-called) amenities at all!!!
Continued Happy Rails, Enuf!
