been in exactly the same situation ... backtracked to the main road inboud , 
pulled off, waited for bit until a obvious SCA type to pass (tourney trailers

these days, it would have been worth a shot to drop into the town library and 
see if they had a public access terminal.  or simply find a phone jack and plug 
in the notebook / pda and do a quick inquiry (++g)
