it should get to the cabin's i was around cabin 5 last year but it was weak signal..
Moab rim: There are 2 ways up onto the rim. They don't officially attach on top and...I'll never drive the "minesweeper" trail again. 2 reasons. I think a boulder has finished off the trail for trucks and it is just too much exposure for me.
Is there just one Internet access point near the office? How far does it reach. I.e. I'm in a camp site near the back fence.
ok - I guess I will help you wireless weenies out. Here are some steps to make a reflector to help your laptops wireless signal.
go to the store there on main street, and pick up a small strainer, mixing bowl, or other bowl with as round a bottom as possible. If you can get copper mixing bowl, or stainless steel one, that's even better. Ideally it should be twice as deep as it's diameter. The bowl should also be at least around 4-6" in diameter. If not metallic, grab some aluminum foil and cover the inside of the bowl with as few of wrinkles as possible. working in strips is a good way to accomplish this.
Then, take your bowl and you laptop, and go to a wireless source. go online, and try and locate through google where your INTERNAL wireless antenna is located in the machine. Usually it will be by the hinge or on the sides, but often on one of the corners by a hinge.
Once you locate that, fire up your signal strength utility and position the reflector to where gives you the most signal strength. Once you learn that positioning, the position of the reflector will not change respective to the laptop. You will have to change the orientation of the laptop to find the best linear signal, but the bowl position should remain un-changed.
merry x-mas. you have now built a parabolic range extender.

This sucks. It doesn't work. And I can't see the keyboard with it on. And Carrie just laughs at me. Sheesh.ok - Here are some steps to make a reflector to help your laptops wireless signal.

If we have time, I want to go find Chicken Corners (I'm leading it on Thursday).
My cabin is dingy and smells like dirt. I opened the windows and it smells less. Or maybe I am getting used to it already.

Hulk - my opinion on Chicken Corners, just baha out there (it's quite a ways of basically a dirt road), over Hurrah Pass, say hi to the Camel Farm, then swing in, get a layout of the parking area, walk to the actual Chicken Corner, and come on back. Also try to research about the movie with the two gals running from the cops who drove their car off a cliff at the end - that scene was filmed somewhere around there and would make for interesting discussion for the participants.
Thanks Romer for the relief! More pics please!
