Saint Helena, yes; I “climbed” it — in quotes because it's really just a stroll up a fire road — six years ago, on my 70th birthday, timing the walk to coincide with the rise of the full moon.

(I've always wanted to do it on January 1, when the air should be clear and crisp, but never got round to it.)<br /><br />I've done both peaks of Mt. Diablo, too. Logically the next would be Mt. Hamilton, and then “Discovery Peak,” in Alameda county.</em>Charles Sherehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10480432901356490235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13593902.post-24925950211656051252011-08-09T08:29:20.712-07:002011-08-09T08:29:20.712-07:00Charles:
