Went hiking today in the Alps...
Walter...surely must be nice to be able to "...go hiking in the Alps...today...". I'm envious.
I can "...go hiking on Mt. Lemon...today..." Little over 9000' at the summit...however, no chance to collect there...National Forest...everything is protected...no permits available. We can't even, legally, pick up something that's being bull-dozed away during road construction (not even a rock).
We have to drive half way around this "Sky Island" to get to the road that goes up the mountain.
Enjoy the Alps for me...
