Digging around for those whiskey shards made me think you might want to see where we look for the old glob tops here in Utah. The early silver camps were a good ticket 20 years ago and more. Alta produced a bunch of 5ths, mainly J.F. Cutters and Hotaling Non Crowns. Plenty of Millers flasks, large and small came out of here. A few "strays" made their way up to the

Topo shows the elevations - 10k feet is not exaggerating. Can't drive anywhere near it, all wilderness area.
Nothin' left up there, Roger? With "possibilities" like those, I'd be sorely tempted to make a return visit. I love those high mountain hikes. Still a bit too "snowy" to hit our Sierra spots, though.
