Is Verizon better than ATT on the CDT. Or does it vary by state or south - north like the AT? On the PCT I had ATT and my buddy had Verizon. <br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Jul 25, 2012 at 11:33 AM, Joel Gat <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:carguy@gmail.com" target="_blank">carguy@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

</div>Agreed, stayed there a couple weeks ago.<br>

</div>Maybe it depends on their mood, but I paid $5 for that same service from them.<br>

</div>In either direction, a few hours away from Rogers Pass, you also can<br>
get cell phone service. I was going southbound and, at their<br>
suggestion, called them from the top of Green Mountain. I had 4 bars<br>
3G service (VZW) at the top of Green Mountain. Louanne said it's<br>
about 3 hours from there to Rogers Pass, but I knew I'd be slower, so<br>
I asked them to meet me in 4 hours. Kevin said most hikers take<br>
3.5~4.5 hours, so he showed up right about when I showed up.<br>
<br>
Although the distances in town are not far, I couldn't believe how<br>
awesome Kevin was - we got to the motel and he knew I wanted some<br>
poweraide, beer, and pizza, so Louanne called in a pizza order for me,<br>
Kevin drove me to the store so I could get drinks and beer, and then<br>
he drove me to the pizza place so I could grab my pizza. Then he<br>
drove me back to the hotel. He even offered to drive me to that Jerky<br>
place (can't recall the name, they have a huge variety and you can<br>
sample everything) at the other end of town.<br>
<br>
They are awesome. Plain and simple.<br>
<br>
Oh, and they're dog friendly (two of their rooms are pets-allowed, one<br>
$55 and one $60/night). And we all hung out on their swinging chair<br>
and some other guests came by and made a roaring fire.<br>
<br>
Very cool people.<br>
<br>
Side note, if you don't want to move far while resting their, right<br>
behind the hotel is a dive bar with a great outdoor deck. They have a<br>
couple local (Helena) beers on tap, and make a decent (not great)<br>
burger, and they're relatively inexpensive. And did I mention next<br>
door to 3brs?<br>
