[pct-l] Cell Phone Trips

Does this have anything to do with the mark of the beast?
I'm not maniacally religious, but I do believe many religious stories may be prophetic, though they are still taken a bit too far by the devout. Though, I'm considered a heathan, which I take as a compliment, when it is discovered by the devout that I sometimes simultaneously accept such stories and prophrcies that are supposed to conflict.

When you turn off a cell phone does it transmit anything? One problem I have with cell phone is the dog leash aspect. I may buy a cel phone but I would never accept one as a "gift".

And I will never allow any hardware to be put into my body. Though, its usually put there without one knowledge when one is unconscious. That should creap me out because I do have metal pins in my leg. As far as I know, they are just metal pins, there for a physical purpose. Though, there could be purposes for them that weren't revealed to me. One was removed becuase I thought it would give me more mobility. I may ask that the other be removed.

This talk of technology on the trail has reminded me of a Star Trek movie where Captain Kirk was climbing Half Dome when Spock flew up propelled by rocket propelled boots.

>  The nice thing about cell phones is Big Brother can track your trip on his own website.  Let's see, " Monte went to Safeway 79 times last year and hiked  238 miles along PCT". All I need now is an " On Star" chip implanted in my forehead or right hand and I will be set. Cell phones built past 1998 have GPS  CHIP built into it to help " 911" folks out,, which it does, but is used along with your Credit Card to , " Profile" person. Your old cell phones from early 1990's didn't have the new Super chip. All new printers have tell tale yellow dots to track a picture to the printer it was made from with serial number. This to to stop counterfeiters. Every purchase you have bought on a credit card since 1979 is recorded on the big machine in Brussels.
>     Next trip I think the cell phone stays home. As good as hearing its ring on a Lake Shore at 9,000 ft. during sunset can be.the Sierras , Winds, etc. will  become a little more important.  Yes they have saved life's ( esp, on climbs or winter trips)  but danger is what make adventures great . Live on the Edge and leave the cell phone home.............Ring Ring Ring,,,,, Yes Grandma, it is raining up here and I DID bring my raingear and yes I will be careful of bears and snakes,,,, Good bye,,,, &*#@%$<mailto:&*#@%$>&*!!!!!!!
