I would rather get a root canal than go shopping. I ate shopping so much I don't even enjoy Cabela's very much. But it's my wife's passion. She says it's her hunting--the hunt is the thing. I can understand that.

Believe it or not, people who are extremely physically fit often suffer from altitude sickness more than some of us less fit folks. The reason: they will tend to push themselves more and go up faster and therefore not give their body time to adjust to the altitude.

"We haven't gone to Rainier in a few years, and that's 14,000+ feet....didn't notice any problem then.....nor when we went to Mt St Helen's to the Johnston Center... We have a full set of stairs here at home, and I'm probably up and down them about 20 times a day.....but when I climbed the stairs the first time at their home, WOW, I really noticed ....Very strange" To be totally accurate, the summit is something like 14,100 feet. The visitor center t Paradise is more like 5,400 feet, which is high enough.
