Just a thought for you guys on this Cell Phone List biz - while a great idea for a lot of GTG's (and can be done privately with a person put in charge and either PM's or e-mails to exchange teh info) for the TOD it might not help much.

We found last year that in order to use a cell phone we had to ride all the way past the top of the Tail itself to the dock area for service. We did not run the Big Loop though, so perhaps it would come in handy out there, but at Deals Gap and on hte Tail you will not likely be able to use a phone at all.

In any case, I would suggest cell phones have a backup. I see that you guys are already planning on radios - so that woudl be a good backup - just wanted to toss it out there that you cannot count on your phone in this area...
