I was in the beginning portion of a 36-day road trip, and when I got to Jackson things had already gotten kinda rough. I had forgotten my laptop charging cord and had cracked the screen to my phone before I left. I decided not to worry about getting the screen replaced since it still worked just fine and the screen was still perfectly viewable, but I didn't think about how that would make it so that the phone was no longer waterproof. Not realizing this, I took the phone into String Lake in the Tetons which was the beginning of that phone's end. When I arrived at Flat Creek Inn, I was pretty stressed since my phone was my navigator, camera, music, email etc etc etc. The staff did everything they could to help me out offering ideas of how to deal with the water damage to my phone, letting me use their wifi with the bit of battery that I still had left on my laptop so that I could map my route and write in down on paper. They also let me use their phone to call people that I was meeting up with including my step-Dad who's hotel room I was headed to that night in Brigham City, UT, and it was great to let him know that I was running several hours late and might be later if I got lost. To boot they also had the rice that I put into a ziplock bag with my phone to begin the water removal process which ended up being successful enough after another day or so to get that phone to last me until it's replacement arrived. I also used their tire air pump to blow into the holes and cracks of the phone which was better than my moist human breath.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FLATT CREEK IN STAFF!!!
