Cell phone reception is okay. There is wireless Internet access at the Post Office.

Traditionally, those at the Preserve are asked not to use cell phones in the Main Area (near the Dining Camp, for example). This is an effort to promote a social atmosphere. While this won’t be enforced during the wedding, do consider it. Enjoy the Preserve and the scenery while you’re there!

Wave at anyone you pass on the road! They will wave back.
