Thanks for the suggestion. I experimented with this idea some and it helped the
appearance of the problem, but didn't completely eliminate it. I think further
experimentation may come up with a normal that will hide the problem, but I'm
going to follow Moon47's suggestion that since the mountain range is going to
be in the distance, I don't really need smoothing.

Once again, thanks,
