• One problem with camping is that it's tough to file taxes while sitting in a tent in the great outdoors.
• That is no longer a problem in California.
• The state last week announced a deal with SBC Communications to provide wireless Internet access points in 85 state parks.
• Now park visitors can take laptop computers and other portable devices to connect to the Internet from areas known as "wilderness."
• Internet access, provided through Wi-Fi technology, will be available mostly in central spots in parks.
• The first access point became operational in a state park in San Diego last week; the other access points will be in place by May, in time for the summer camping, hiking and e-mailing season.
• "If you wanted to, you could file your taxes from the beach," said Clark Keslo, chief information officer for California.
• But he added, "I don't recommend it."
• Under the deal, SBC will give park visitors free Internet access to California state government Web pages like those giving road closure information.
• Keslo hoped park visitors would use the free connections to learn about camp grounds and safety information.
• But using Websites other than government sites have to be paid for.
