Great site, Chainsaw! I'd never stumbled across it before.
Not a NIC THING to do to a NEW HOMEOWNER, no, not at all...
;-)
There was a great story in there about how NOT to climb a volcano (in
Costa Rico, a place on my life-map of Interesting Places to Explore).
Rule Number One: Carry Water. Rule Number Two: Get good maps!

"...Dirt eventually gave way to very hard, solid rock which I assume
was old lava. Pitted and uneven, but it collected dew quite well. We
had started to see that the mountain had started to visibly curve
along the horizontal (left-right) even given our limited range of
sight. We decided that, since at this point the way was so steep that
we had to use our hands to assist us, to circle around to find the
fabled easy way. What we found was a sudden drop off the bottom of
which was lost in fog. I have nightmares about this."
