buy a laptop or perhaps a cheap computer. Something like an emachine and just leave it at the river. Hook it up to a phone line and use dial up. I'm gonna guess your company uses outlook express for their email so just have everything setup on you new river computer or laptop. If you've got a tech guy then he'll know what you want done. If your company just uses AOL mail or employies personal email(Aol, hotmail, yahoo, etc.) accounts then just use that. This way you can boot up the computer and check your email in between the sandbar and skiing.
