YESTERDAY’S MACHU PICCHU POST produced this email from reader Russell Smith:

Just saw this post concerning Machu Picchu and cell coverage. I work in a remote site in Northern British Columbia (where I am currently). I check your site on my breaks. I can’t match the photo of Machu Picchu but I’ve attached one of the scenery near me. We get Internet and phone thru satellite coverage (a bit slow at times) but alas, no cell phone coverage. In fact, I’m sure there is no cell phone coverage for at least 100 miles in any direction, maybe even more. I’m jealous that they have it in remote a place as Machu Picchu but not halfway between Juneau and Seattle.

Yeah, but it’s still cool that I’ve got readers there. Nice pic . . .
