.... yes, noticed some recently while I was mowing 

Haven't seen any around here in  S. E. Mich. in years. But , they used to come up from Mexico in the Spring to Point Pelee, a peninsula in Southern  Ontario and I used to see tons of them there.

No. I only see them occasionally. I'm in New York. About 12 years ago, I was sitting outside and counted about 70 of them in a little over an hour. Milkweed is getting harder to find. https://www.google.com/search?q=monarch+milkweed&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-b-1-ab

Pausing link the ascent and pitching camp early was only made possible by the barometer on Vaucher's wrist and may have not only ensured the success of the climb link but also prevented link injury or worse. I can't imagine the men wanted to be stuck out on an icy rock face during an active snowstorm.
