Having spent a fair amount of time in the White Mountains and on the Washington summit, I’m still amazed at the number of people who need to be rescued (or sent to the morgue) on a regular basis. It’s not a walk in the park. Pay attention. Gear up. Or just stay home.

The first recorded instance of book burning was in 213 BC,
when Chinese emperor Qin Shi Huang decided to incinerate

In addition, he buried more than 400 scholars alive.
