Cell Reception at the Emeralds?

Hi All, does anyone know if there is currently cell service at or around the Emeralds? It’s off Hwy 20 Lake Bowman Road Exit. We are hoping to meet up w a crew and camp at Rucker Lake. Is there service at the crag and/or Rucker Lake? Thanks! 

It would probably depend on your service provider. Check out the app OpenSignal.

I have a note to myself that we had ATT coverage at the crag, but I don’t actually remember at all 

Last time I went, I lost service right about when I took the exit off HWY 20. There's spotty reception at best, and I would not rely on it. I would plan to meet your crew at a specific crag at a specific time, or at the central meeting area that most people park at for the Emeralds or where normal hikers / tourists park. It's right when you get to the bottom of that paved road coming in.

From the MP Page regarding the normal parking area: * Just before the bridge that crosses the Yuba River, there is a dirt access road. It is now gated and locked, so park across the bridge, then continue on foot. 

I was there a few weekends ago. I have TMobile and the reception was spotty. I had good reception on Nagativity Ledge, but most places on the approach trail I had little to none.
