What was really amazing to me to realize is that some fellow a couple of
mountain tops away had seen the dilemma.  The grader fellow, when he arrived
and got down from his rig ... pointed out the site where the mountaintop
fellow was located.  Of course, I took a fair amount of ribbing and humorous
(at least in my presence) comments about "easterners and flat-landers," and
assured folks that the lessons had been learned - tune into and listen to
local NOA reports, and stay the hell off mountain passes in mid-late
October.  One comment was that folks hoped I had enough propane and food to
last the winter ... and smiled when I told them the propane wasn't the best
fuel for that altitude.

The guy wouldn't accept any payment, but did refer me to a local youth
organization where I could make a donation - They and I were appreciative.

Now that is exactly the kind of thing that makes this world go around. I
know it seems a small deed but I just love hearing things like this
