Who would meet someone in this area? For perspective, this is the main road to Greenstone, off the TransCanada highway.

The drive from Toronto to Greenstone, is approximately the same as the drive from Toronto to Atlanta, the only difference is that going to Greenstone, you still haven't left the province of Ontario!
This is clearly a very remote area. Life is tough up here. (So I've heard and assume.) I find it difficult to believe that Cunningham met up with someone else, unless he "hooked up" with someone via Craigslist, or similar. The problem with this latter scenario is that it would have been a very long way since the last Wi-fi spot!
Arguably, the last major town (and I'm using the term "major" very loosely), driving west, before Greenstone is Kapuskasing, with a population of approximately 8,500, a 400 km drive (5 to 6 hours). I have to discount Hearst, with a population of about 5,000, which is "only" 300 km away (or 4-4 1/2 hours drive). I'm guessing that Hearst doesn't have wi-fi locations, although I may be wrong!
For those of us in "the south" we have difficulty imagining how remote this area is. (at least I do, although I must say that I did drive through Hearst many years ago. There wasn't much there. I most certainly never made it to Greenstone.)
