[pct-l] Rock Pile lake has Verizon cell service

Thu Sep 1 20:53:33 CDT 2011

I was there last Saturday night and had cell service as well, at least for text messages but not voice.  There were a number of places of the ridge north of there with service as well.  The ridge above Jefferson Park and Jude Lake also had service.
