Off-The-Grid River rafters learn of pandemic after 25 days without contact
Imagine rafting down the Colorado River for 25 days, with no contact from the outside world, only to return and discover that a deadly pandemic has swept the planet while you were off the grid."The first message I get is from my mom and she says, you need to call me now," said Mason Thomas, of Sacramento, California. Mason and his girlfriend Kate Condino, were among a group of more than a dozen friends who left civilization in mid-February to raft 280 miles through the Grand Canyon with no cellphone service or outside contact.
