Cute photo. It reminded me of a particularly stupid moment in my younger days…. A bunch of friends and I were up on Mt. Lemmon many years ago (early- to mid-70’s), standing out on some huge boulders at the edge of a cliff. We were laughing and laughing, because all of our hair was doing the same thing as Kiley’s in this photo, and we thought it was so hysterical–especially one guy’s, because his long hair was sticking out and up around the brim of his cowboy hat.
That’s when it dawned on us that, if there was that much static in the air, maybe a rock-outcropping in the wide-open spaces on a mountainside wasn’t the safest place to be standing–unless we were looking to be hit by lightening, that is.
That was Inspiration Rock, summer of ’73. We had all camped the night before at the meadow just west of Mt. Lemmon.
I remember it well, except the part where you allege that we had sense enough to figure out what was going on and get down from there.
Tim T. and I had the same experience with a few hippies on 14,000 foot Mt. Evans in Colorado in ’76, but by that time I had definitely wised up enough to understand what was happening and herd everyone from the summit immediately.
