    I hiked up Mt Elbert when it was 14,433', then again a few years later after it was upgraded to 14,440'. I once rode the highest lifts at Breckenridge (12,800'), Loveland (12,600') and A-Basin (12,400'?) in the same week. I'm so amazing...
    Change is good. You go first.

    Once when we were going partying into NYC, a buddy turned me on to a hit of acid and then without my knowledge slipped me two more. That along with a nights worth of drinking and smoking the weed stuff had me flying!

    Seems like half a dozen or more of y'alls have climbed Whitney, but none of you got the height correct- it's 14,494

    Other California notables include:

    White Mtn = 14,246,
    Mt. Shasta = 14,162
    Mt.Williamsson = 14,375 (a nice little 1 hour [with pee breaks included] run from Whitney)

    Likewise Denali (Mount McKinley) was resurveyed in 1989 and the height was listed as 20,306'.

    Just a few shy of the oft reported 20,320'.

    Nor did you. Summit marker = 14,496.811' I wrote it was 14,497'. I rounded up .189', sorry for my transgression. That's, what, 2.28" or so.

    Slight hijack - can you ever trust the data in Wikipedia? I find it a very dubious source of truly factual data. It's just a compilation of peoples "beliefs" - some based on facts, some based on speculation, some based on data retrieved from sources that got their facts from some other source, that reference some other source, that said......

    My kids have used Wikipedia a few times for homework. Spot checking their work, I find many errors in the information they obtain.

    For example - from Wiki on Mt. Whitney - "The peak is commonly thought to be 14,494 feet high." But that's wrong. Since 1930, the peak is commonly thought to be 14,496.811' based on the summit survey marker.

    It is a factory modified two seater, modified for the Irish Air Core to be used as a trainor after the war.

    Heres a link to some crappy pictures somebody took of it.

    Don't have any decent pics, since I haven't owned a digi cam till just recently. I'll probably post a flying TR at some point this summer. We don't really fly it in the winter.

    My dad is trying to sell a half ownership in it, because he really needs the money. I really hope that doesn't happen. It would break my heart.

    October, 1981 - Folsom Field, Rolling Stones concert.
    Rode a bike over the divide in RMNP, but can't remember the name of the road (probably due to after effects of the Stones concert). Tried Mt. Evans on a bike once but didn't quite make it to the top. Went down in an ambulance (that was fun!).
    Try to keep two ideas in your head at the same time without blowing your brains out your ass.
