I ended up driving the 20 miles until I was able to pick up 1 bar of Verizon signal and received the SMS. I used hotspot on my phone and typed the code into my laptop. Then drove the 20 miles back to the hotel.
Oh wow. Ok I see what you mean now. That makes sense, At work, the two step auth doesn't require SMS, just data.

Man 20 miles. Go Gmail!
