Hi Jeff, No need to apologize for posting your warning! I'm well aware of the lightning risk, but there's nothing wrong whatsoever in you making sure of it! Your comment: "'They' say that your body is at its worst in the 2-5 day period after arriving at altitude" is exactly why I'm seeking an answer to my question of "Should I?" Of course, it's possible that there is no definitive answer. As we already know, everyone adapts in different ways. Still, I'm following a couple of other lines of inquiry. If I get useful answers I'll let you know...
