More than 230 million Americans--some 75% of the population--use cellphones, and last year they made 2 trillion minutes worth of calls on them. And they use them almost everywhere: According to a wireless industry trade group, 99% of Americans live in counties where wireless services are sold. But peace seekers who want to really, really get away from it all for a few days by cutting the cord can still do it--if they look hard enough.Some people really do want to get away from it all.
Here is what they have to say about the Adirondacks on their interactive map.
Adirondack Mountains, Adirondack Park, N.Y.
What to do: Many large chunks of the Adirondacks are without wireless access. Relax in the wilderness, including Adirondack Park, which is the size of Vermont. Enjoy outdoor activities such as canoeing, fishing and mountain biking.
Where to stay: Hotel Saranac, a rustic hotel with nice furnishings in Saranac Lake, N.Y.

I couldn't agree more. Some people truly do want to get away from it all. Relax. Read. Nap. Enjoy the beauty of the Adirondacks. Canoe. Kayak. My son, Nick, and I have just penned our first Adirondack kids book, "Adirondack Nightmare: A Spooky Tale in the North Country". It's a lively, quick read with 3 original Adirondack recipes. I'm so proud of my son as he's a sophmore in high school and did the 41 illustrations for the book. It can be found at giftstores and bookshops or on our web site at www.rebeccaleonard.com. I love this blog and am adding it to mine! I'm new at blogging and am finding it to be a lot of fun.
