No, the article you replied to had no such header fields, but did use
latin-1 characters (in the name of the poster). Your reply qouted the
name, and your reader or something on your site, decided that you must
have been using Korean.

No doubt because there are no restrooms at all in most of the park.

That is accurate, however, there are restrooms at many of the facilities on
the rim, and there are restrooms at Phantom Ranch, and I did use those
restrooms and they were clean. I did not have a problem finding a restroom
when I needed them (including on the hike down and up) and when I used a
restroom it was clean.

When hiking you DO have to plan a bit; especially on South Kaibab Trail.

it might to the British or the Europeans; being neither it has
little import for me, sve to know the appropriate terminology
once settled.

do ntoe that the post of mine you responded to addressed the
logic of the previous post, not the quesiton of whether Britain
is or isn't in Europe.

It takes hours to get to or from the rim or Phantom Ranch.

There are restrooms on those tiny trails? Things have changed!

There are restrooms on Bright Angel Trail at the 1 mile stop, at the two mile
stop and at Indian Gardens (plus one other stop, cannot remember where).

On the South Kaibab trail there are fewer.

    > There are restrooms on those tiny trails? Things have changed!

There were in 1999.

They were rustic, as you might expect, but clean.

A rock outcropping should serve just fine.

No. Uncontrolled deposition of waste in the canyon is an ecological
hazard. If you raft down the canyon, for example, you have to bring all
your waste back with you. Otherwise the canyon would gradually turn
into a sewer.

Having seen both the Canadian Rockies and the Alps, I would say that the
Rockies are much more spectacular.

Pictures just don't do it. I live a long way from any mountain range. I had
seen lots and lots of pictures of them, but they never prepared me for the real
thing. Pictures I took while in various mountain ranges were always
disappointing. They just don't capture the majesty of the real thing.

She cited the previous poster's name: Markku Grönroos. That's a non-
ASCII character -- specifically, an ISO 8859-1 or 8859-15 character --
after the "Gr" and before the "nroos". It is not, of course, a Korean
character.

That sounds like a huge generalization.

I look at the Rockies all day when at home and it's damn nice. Especially
in winter. May sound odd, but we really like winter, when the air is
crisp and clear and the view is wonderful.

But I bet you'll find equally nice views of the Alpes if you look for it.
The differences are:

1. I think the Alpes are higher than the Canadian Rockies which means
more snow;

2. From the Eastern side at least, because we get so little rain, the
landscape is more prairie-like than forest-like. Gets brown when no snow,
and the few trees around are rather thin. The trade-off, of course, is
that we get lots of sunshine wheile they have a good share of rainy days;

3. The Rockies are still mostly wilderness (except for a couple of
eyesores like Banff (OK, couldn't resist... - I support the bears and
cougars against German tourists :--)...) while the Alpes are mostly
populated/farmed etc.

Not HTML, but for some reason that last message was annotated as having a
Korean character set:

    > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=EUC-KR

All your others are US-ASCII though. Weird.
