[at-l] The Mt Lafayette 360 Cam (was Backwoods Cams)

[buchanan@gtcinternet.com (Susan Buchanan)]

Wow - that isn't at all what it looked like when I was there!  Of course,
when I hiked up it with CloudMan I had a hard time seeing my hand in front
of me, much less my hiking partner.  There were other mountains around us??

[CloudMan - also known as Art Cloutman, but hey - every time I hike with him
we seem to be in the clouds.  You wanna hike a big mountain in the Whites,
and not see anything??  go hike with the CloudMan]

and yeah, Art, I'll still hike with you any day.
and blisterfree - this was waaay cool.
