Ever notice how one random chat can mess with your head like that? My buddy had almost the same thing happen to him up at the Vista House, some guy with a scope got him hooked on watching the sky and now he plans his whole drive home around it. He says the east wind days in winter are the best bet, when the mountain gets that big cap sitting on top of it. He also swears by the pullout on Larch Mountain road, though he admits the view from the Women's Forum is easier if you don't want to drive far. Funny how you can live here for years and never look up until somebody points it out to you.
