in the Hands of the Potter: Big Meadows

Big Meadows

So tonight, my mom called me from Virginia. She and my dad are camping down there, and she didn't have access to the internet but was waiting for an important email. So she asked me to check her email. Their cell phone didn't get signal, and they were out of minutes on their phone card, so I said I'd call the pay phone that she was calling from. She gave me the number, and we set up a time to call.

When I went to call, it wouldn't connect to the phone. I knew she would be sitting by the phone, without any way of me getting ahold of her to let her know that it wouldn't connect. I went on the national parks website, but all the phone numbers I called went to voicemail. Finally I found a number, about 30 minutes later, to the Big Meadows lodge. So I called, and a guy with a southern accent answered! :) I told him what was going on, and he went downstairs to find my mom. A few minutes later, she answered.

I know it's a silly story, but I thought it was funny. :) And heck, I might as well blog about something. I don't want to bore people with stories about work all the time (although I do still love my job) :o)

How resourceful of you Em! It is so frustrating when you need to contact someone and there is not a normal way to do so. Don't you love the southern accent on a man?
