Good times...
I was a ranger at a place named Rae Lakes in 1971, I walked up to the top of the pass to the south one day. It was under a layer of high clouds. As I got to the top of the pass, I felt sort of tingly. Two people sitting there among the rocks at the top said, "Hey, your hair is standing up on end." I imediately dropped down among the rocks myself.
