I am confused here and am wondering if I missed a message in this
thread. Who said Tesla was set up on Pikes Peak? Everything I have
read states that his lab was just outside (now inside) Colorado
Springs, not on Pikes Peak. (???)

Charles, I have driven down to Colorado Springs (70 miles or so) several times and seen the Nikola Tesla Memorial sign (which has changed over the years) right across from the Deaf&Blind school. It's where he worked. I have never heard of Tesla setting up on Pikes Peak, which at more than 14,000 feet would be *quite* a lot of work.


I do remember an anecdote of that era, though -- wasn't there a bonfire lit off on Pikes Peak for the 4th of July when Tesla was there?

p.s. The 2/3 oxygen is not a problem, it's great for athletes to train because they develop more red blood cells. I'm not as wild about the increased radiation levels from Up There, though.
