State High Points
I am a card-carrying member of the Highpointers Club (www.highpointers.org) and have set a goal of reaching the top of each of the 48 contiguous states (I'm afraid Denali, the highpoint of Alaska - and of North America - at 20,320 feet, is beyond my ability, and I can't drive my rig to Hawaii). The table below shows my progress to date. Latitude and Longitude are as measured by me at the top. If I didn't get a measurement, these columns are blank. I had climbed Mt. Marcy, NY, Mt. Washington, NH, and Mt. Whitney, CA long before I started RVing, before I joined the Highpointers Club, and before I owned a GPS.
