Now that is planning ahead! Better than digging a hole in the ground for a shelter. Wait…. What if somebody shoots them down?

And dirigibles. Last I knew they had their own Interweb access, but that was some time ago as part of their telco coop. Its an odd town to drive through, like a subdivision full of stepford wives. But they do have a yearly sustainable living fair that I guess is pretty popular.

I’m trying to imagine doing it on the scale of this network. People there must either be very laid back and neighborly (it is almost Canada), or they really have no other choices for Internet. There’s a town Stelle in Illinois that started as a commune, they have a cooperative telephone company, probably Internet too. But that’s a commune. You don’t move to Stelle to have fights with your neighbors.

Constitution and blocked by trees for ptmp links. Much better ptp link view from there to Anacortes and towers on hilltops in Skagit county. If you were to stand on top of their water tank I bet $5 you will not see the Mt. Constitution tower sites due to the shape of the terrain, despite 90+ meter towers on the summit. Looks like they are doing very short distance ptmp in their 5x5 km square area of orcas, as the photos of shielded ubnt sectors on trees illustrate.
