Now folks will be venturing up to Rainier looking for this neat Mear Snowfield, while "wondering" near Boy Scouts in igloos.

Well it's no different than the hiking on Normandy Beach!

That would be a delightful hike if they hadn't despoiled the area with pillboxes and acres of military cemeteries!

Don't disparage the touron species! I notice the link no longer works. What's up with that? It worked this morning.
Touron is a nougat of Arabic origin made with almonds and honey or sugar, without which it would just not be Christmas in Spain.

Actually it USED to be the Muir Glacier but, since global warming it has changed into a mere snowfield. I think this happened about the same time the Paradise Glacier and world famous ice caves disappeared

Maybe I read a more of a belittling tone into those comments than what you really intended. My feedback was meant to be a bit overstated to possibly give a voice to what others may have been thinking.
Remember what a wise man once said in defense of a group (not a specific person) being targeted for some "teasing."
Quote:
"I myself think it's sort of a smug, self-righteous label [tourons] to give to the vast majority of outdoor visitors. Kinda like someone prefacing a comment about you as a "gun-toting/blasting" outdoorsperson, with snide meaning..."
I'm not specifically defending peppersteak'n'ale or the Mear guy. And I'm not against humor at my expense if it's too perfect to pass up. I'm more concerned for that person who has a little scrap of information that I need, but will never see, 'cause he or she finds this to be an inhospitable place to share.

I think this happens a lot on the internet. I get accused of it all the time, because sarcasm doesn't come through all that well in this medium.
Now back to our regularly scheduled programming. Everyone dogpile on Peppersteak for TRing Mount Si.

I hope poor spellers and those visiting "unworthy" destinations continue to report on their trips. It provides information for some, and provides a handy way for others to elevate themselves by stepping on the unfortunate contributors. 
Actually, Pepper, Steak 'N Ale didn't seem too bothered with it, gave a good-natured reply.
