Cell Service

I'm experiencing low to no Verizon service in Crawford State Park, Paonia, and surrounding areas. Learned today that Sprint purchased a local company/towers in this area a few years back and hence they are the only ones with service in the area. Highly unusual; in my experience in the west, Sprint typically has the worst cell coverage and Verizon the best.  For example, I'm sitting in the Paonia library (very nice!) today using their WiFi and I have no Verizon cell service here. Need to take this into consideration as I look for places to live:)
