Yo Walter – thanks for sharing your 50-High Points Report and, more importantly, for completing the 50 US High Points. It was a pleasure to read the details and background in your journey. I think the highlight was in learning that you completed each of the peaks on the first attempt. Congratulations on successfully implementing a long term logistical plan and for exercising the determination to see this effort to completion. Given only around 350 completers of the US High Points and given the US population of around 330 million, that makes you quite nearly 1 in a million (or 1 in 20 million per the World population of ~7.7 billion). Your Fifty Pinnacles report has inspired me to finally complete my own 50 State HP report.
Pixelate, I really appreciate the kind words. I know you were two years ahead of me with accomplishing all 50 yourself, making you 1 in more than a million!!! Have a great day.
