Tracfone coverage
I wondered idly about extent of my tracfone coverage as we sat behind an SUV with the license plate "MTNLUVR". My family and visiting relatives were on vacation and driving through the beautiful Blue Ridge Parkway outside of Asheville, North Carolina. It wasn't autumn yet, so there were very few cars on the road. I had placed my tracfone on the nook of the door handle of my Honda Odyssey, and as we rolled upward and onward, I saw that I still had a strong signal. I thought, well, this is a popular tourist location so I suppose there would be coverage. After all, the grass on the side of the road get mowed, something you don't notice until it's pointed out to you from someone visiting the USA.
Blue Ridge Parkway Elev. 2720 ft.We came to our first scenic outlook overlooking the Haw Valley. We got out and stretched our legs. The children eventually came outside though they were a little apprehensive because of the height. I was apprehensive because of the railings. Still, I managed to notice that my tracfone was still getting a strong signal.
Blue Ridge Parkway: Elev. 3175 ft.Next stop at 3175 feet elevation.Here the cell phone's signal was starting to fade, but it was still usable, indicating pretty good tracfone coverage!
The final stop was at around 4000 feet elevation, and here, finally, the tracfone coverage ended. We drove for a little bit longer, then as the light was fading, turned back around and drove to downtown Asheville. This was the weekend that the college students were back so it was a happening town. A band was playing, people were dancing and a good time was had by all. If this convinces you, you can check out some . . .
