Thanks.. that was taken about an hour before a HUGE RAINSTORM hit and turned the desert into a vast sea of glue where it's impossible to drive or even walk! Check out this pano I made of the aftermath.
Wow! Thats a heckofa pano there, and it looks like soup from here. I love the finger of light streaming down.
Huh. Guess I'll have to wait for their post BM writeup to see what happened. I'm following it closely, because I may end up using some variant of that at my new job. I'm running a network for a remote mine in AK, and we're 40 miles and 2 valleys away from the nearest cell tower. It'd be a huge morale boost if I could get any sort of cell signal in here, save the guys from blowing $200 a hitch on prepaid cards(the joys of AK, the 3 cents a minute prepaid cards you get in the lower 48, are 20 cents or more a min up here). Even if its GSM voice/SMS only, it'd help.

So, how was the cell service out there? I've been following the OpenBTS project with interest.
