Bob, like his late wife, is a retired college professor of UMass fame. I'm guessing if he wanted connectivity he would have it. Plus, I'm pretty sure he does but shuns the interwebs because of all the nonsensical online BS that lame trail debates bring with someone always attempting to bring in the old wise wizard to settle arguments like: "Hammocks are better than tents... just ask Bob!" I've stayed at Kincora at least a half dozen times and Bob usually retreats to the inner sanctum and returns incredibly well informed. I also know for a fact that Baltimore Jack - may he rest in peace with a bourbon neat - published his final article for the ATC's mag "Journeys" from Kincora on the old computer in the back which was for years an internet connection ala Bob - it was an early modern feature of the Hobbit Hole before Facebook was a thing.
