Reply #4: I usually avoid the mountains on big Summer holidays.

But I'm a bit anti-social. Wrightwood is a nice little
mountain town, in the Summer, anyway. In the winter it goes
a bit nuts over skiing.

We got hailed and rained and lightninged and thundered too,
and soaking wet. That was pretty good while everyone else was
sweating it out down in the valleys. But it took a while
to get a fire going to dry out. :-)
