Summit Page

 

   We are currently in the process of converting the site to database-driven "Ruby on Rails" under MySQL.   

All states are updated.

This is the chronicle of our attempt to reach as many of the highest points in the 50 states as possible.  My son Hunter is my traveling partner, and this has become a true bonding experience as we plan out our trips and encounter new adventures along the way.  So far we have been to 40 highpoints (I have 40, Hunter has 39, and Fischer has 4), and we are currently traveling the country exploring, hitting highpoints, and learning a lot.
