Re: Wow!

I'm addicted to the benchmarks found on summits. I'm always sad when I find the central one missing or I've climbed a peak that doesn't have one at all. Registers are next on what I look for when I hit a summit, especially on mountains that see few visitors. Another SP member and I found a register on a peak in Idaho that went back into the 1940's. That was cool. Thanks for checking out the album, I'm glad you liked it.

Re: Benchmarks in every direction

Paul, glad you like benchmarks too. I like putting the state abbreviation in parentheses as it helps in giving a feel for where the benchmark is located. Take care.

Re: Benchmarks in every direction

I uploaded one (upload #300, heh heh) for the Red Mountain west of downtown Las Vegas.

As an experiment I retrieved the datasheet from the USGS BM datasheet database. Unfortunately (for us), we can't link to a record in their database. So I pasted it into the caption.

To get the formatting correct and readable in the caption, the following HTML programming was done:

<div align="left"><font size="1" face="courier new">^{<br /> Paste the Datasheet text here<br />}</font></div>

Ignore the br tags (I can't seem to get them to disappear in this post).

The superscript tag decrease the size just enough to not force any lines to wrap to the next line.
