It all started by accident in 2017 when I was running late on my way up to Moose River Plains and it was getting dark and I was tired. Decided to do a quick overnight on Hartwood Hill but I awoke the next morning discovering the beauty of the site and discovered how nice it was to have good cell reception from camp.

Usually this is the start of campaign season at work and after 2020 this became the premiere campsite to remote work. With cell sharing you can connect your laptop like any ordinary Wi-Fi. While it can be hot at times, especially in the summer months on a hot and sunny day it also has awesome sun exposure for solar, and it sloped almost due East so when the batteries are lowest in the morning they are quickly topped off – I’ve gotten upwards of 85 watts from my flat mounted solar panel on my truck.

I’ve also tired of the bumpy and long roads at Moose River Plains. Not only is it remote but everything is so far apart you end up burning a ton of expensive gas, especially in my big jacked up truck and sitting in the truck instead of enjoying outdoor adventures. Plus as my truck got old, I worried more about breaking shit in the remote country with my anxiety problems. It just wasn’t fun anymore.

And there are some nice views from the campsite, especially in the autumn months.
