True but it lets me have some very interesting conversations with people 
I'd rarely, if ever, meet otherwise.  Not just in relation to hiking but 
some of my other interests as well which aren't shared by many in my 
immediate locale.  The Internet isn't *necessary* but it is a wonderful 
luxury.  Without the Internet, I'd still read my collection of journals 
(the ones in print) and as you observed I'd still get from one end of my 
hike to the other.  I might even learn not to miss the Internet.
