Hi Padgett
So THAT explains it.  When I was in high school, I took my 59 Impala 
Convertible land yacht hill climbing!  I climbed up some hill overlooking 
the city with several of my friends and then a Jeep came up there.  The 
driver could hardly believe his eyes!  He asked a very dumb question, "How 
did THAT get up here?"  That question deserved an appropriate answer, 
"Would you believe a HUGE helicopter?"  LOL.
