Cedar and I joined his friend Chris and his parents, April and Sean, for a walk up Mt. Veusvius.  I’ve read there are a variety of different trails on the mountain, but we did the main “tourist” one for this first time up (for all of us).  We drove up a beautiful road through pine trees (it felt like Montana to us), then walked up a wide gravel road to the summit.  The views were breathtaking.  There is some steam coming from the crater, too!
