Don't let the locals hear you say that! Mount Washington claims 6,228 feet (very cold, windy feet ...), and another six peaks in the presidential range top 5000 feet. I've only reached the summit of Mount Washington behind the wheel of a car. Nowadays it's relatively easy - the road is paved all the way - but the first time I did it the last couple of miles of the road (above the tree line) were on gravel. Driving mountain switchbacks on narrow gravel roads, in moderately high winds, gets your attention. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
