Summer
2004 -- Alison's
visit to the Old Dad, May 2004
You
may not find this tangibly rewarding unless you're included here, so this is a
good time for casual and random browsers to turn back before they get too caught
up in the sweep and majesty of the proceedings and can't let go. Alison
B. Peck takes time off from her busy intergalactic schedule to visit the Old Dad
in Switzerland Whenever
Alison's astrophysical travels bring her back to Europe, she seems to be able
to build a quick visit into the itinerary. May 2004. Mont
Tendre

See you
here next year. Soon it's back to Hawaii, to the top of the highest mountain in
the world, measured from its base (below sea-level) to its summit, with lava all
over the shop floor by the sound of it.
Dent
de Vaulion But
first, let's walk up to the Dent de Vaulion overlooking the Lac de Joux. Let's
see, where does the path go? 
Oh,
here's the trail sign, in this tree. 
And here's
Alison at the summit, with a 360 degree table-map showing the surrounding attractions,
like Alps, lakes, etc.

left behind by the world's shift to electronic watches, but coping increasingly
well. From the Dent de Vaulion. May 2004.
