I know it had a bad weather route around the mountain, but not paved that I
can recall, although, it did have a dirt service road to the top, from the
other side.  I loved the scramble to the top of  Albert, with the proverbial
"what am I doing here"  part of my hike.  The grassy top and the fire tower,
quickly overcame the difficulties of the climb.

I must be feeling old, those were the days!
