No, the picture's not blurry... we are in a cloud!

At the summit station we had about 2 hours to wander around and explore.  There are neat walkways through caves that have lookout points every so often.  This is the first lookout point. The clouds were thick and getting thicker.  We would soon find out why...
We had made it all the way to the end of the cave walk.  We were about to go up a staircase to the 2nd of 3 levels of the summit.  Suddenly there was a flash and a HUGE boom! It sounded like they were dynamiting the mountain. We were actually ABOVE a thunderstorm!  That scared the bejeebers out of Zack. We high tailed it back to the cave then back into the summit station building.  After about 5 more booms the storm was over and soon cleared to a beautiful afternoon. About 50º and sunny.
