Trail Twitter
Through no fault of my own, I am acquiring a free blackberry phone, via my son’s account. And since hiking doesn’t pay and I have had more than enough Internet in my life lately, I don’t think I’ll be spending the 30 bucks to turn the data plan on. Rather, I’m thinking of doing a Trail Twitter with the free unlimited text messaging feature. This phone also comes with a built in spell checker.
Tom of “Two-Heeled drive” is big on this Twitter thing; that’s where I heard about it.
Might be stupid, might not be. Word press will post a blog entry once a day from them. The direct link to my twitter is http://twitter.com/sistercrow

I’ve been using Twitter as a “mo blog” for several months now. It was easy to get my phone (also a crackberry) connected to the service, though I will probably take a quad-band flip phone to Yosemite this summer for more signal options. Since I’m hiking solo, Twitter will be my main method of letting the world know I’m still alive.

“***though I will probably take a quad-band flip phone to Yosemite this summer for more signal options.”

Big fan of twitter and your twits from the PCT. Very curious how you are getting a signal? Or are your twits being sent in bulk when you hit a town?

Hey Mikeonthetrail,
All twitters are live from the trail, I only twitter when I have signal.
