Tough old bird, you betcha..... Smart cookie, not hardly.....
Anytime I go to the woods I leave LJ with my flight plan. My intended destination and an alternate location. If I vary from either of those I call to let her know the change. "His cell phone was broken".... Places in MN I've been may not have a signal for miles, cell phone is worthless. IMHO, when a person reaches a certain age they need to stop hunting alone, admit it, you're getting old....
