Little black boxes! Hmmmm! On a trip into the boonies such as this has anyone ever thought about taking along one of those personal emergency locator beacons that can be picked up by satellite in orbit to locate someone in distress? It only takes three passes of the satellite to have you triangulated and pinpointed. I guess GPS tells you where you are, but no one else knows.
