Heresy

[Page]

Well, there was that night, high in the Rockies (deliberate pun). We'd moved 
past the rushes and onto the next level. The hallucinations (I think) kicked 
in. Suddenly, Mickey's gang and the Looney Tunes' gang were coming out of 
the Magic Castle, which was on the top of Long's Peak. One of Colorado's 
fourteen-ers, i.e. peaks 14,000' and higher.

*That* was technicolor (wow, man, look at the colours) fun, an excellent 
time was had by all. I never had a bad time in the Zone.
