Advanced Boondocking 4 - Satellites and Sno-Parks
Whatcha gonna do when trees are blocking satellite reception? Give up TV for a night? OR, use your compass to find a crack in the trees where the signal is coming through and place your satellite dish there. For these situations, Randy carries extra-long TV cables and a small device he constructed to hold the dish. He "nails" it to the ground and tunes in. Mountains are rarely a barrier because the signal comes in at a very high angle.
Sno-parks are wonderful places to camp - and there are hundreds of them in CA, OR and WA. Each state lists them on the internet:WA: http://www.parks.wa.gov/winter/parks/motorparks.asp

Do you typically get a Verizon signal at the sno-parks?
It's hard to generalize. Lots of times there are cell towers at the passes, and that's where the sno-parks often are. But if they are in the middle of nowhere, then Verizon doesn't bother covering the area.
