Mount Umunhum is very close to me “as the bird flies,” but it takes almost an hour to get there. Nonetheless, with the family out of town I decided to do this drive-up summit after work one day. It may be an hour drive each way, but there’s just a few minutes of walking up some stairs to get to the top. Last time I activated it, it was in the fog. This time I was able to see a lot more!
