Current High Points

I started doing this almost half dozen years ago when it just seemed like a neat thing to do (this was before I heard of HighPointers and stuff like that). It quickly evolved into a way for me to go to and see parts of this country that I prolly would never have visited otherwise. I've had some pretty cool adventures, and have seen some pretty awesome places (and some pretty ho-hum places ;-) in my travels. Some of them I'm itching to go back to and explore further.
