HP  Sucess!

Taking scenic route to Cleveland, bagging some state and county highpoints. Strange hobby, driving to stand in the midst of a grove of trees in nowheres Indiana. A wonderful way to see country, meet people and visit areas I wouldn't see otherwise. Ate apple and enjoyed. State #16.

#6  Sucess!

My brother and I were driving I-70 from Colorado to Pennsylvania, and since it's so close to the interstate, we had to make the stop. It was my 6th highpoint, and I think it was my brother's 12th.

Hardest summit on the planet  Sucess!

Walked right up to this one, and had to investigate the mailbox in the middle of nowhere. I was going after the geocache located in the same spot, I signed the log book.

12th of 13 state highpoints for me  Sucess!

I was in Dayton, Ohio for a conference and took an early morning sidetrip into Indiana to bag this highpoint at 8:15 AM. I bagged Campbell Hill in Ohio the next morning with a friend/coworker, Bristol Ellington.

While on vacation to the state of my birth and life until age 23, I proceeded to Hoosier Hill, a nicely kept State Highpoint. Glad to say that I've looked down upon all those in Indiana.

Highpoint #13. Took turns driving all the way out & back with a similarly-crazed fellow highpointer from MA, just to bag IN & OH.

Reached the summit during the Cops on Top high point challenge to remember the police officers who lost their lives during the 9-11 attacks. Officers from around the country reached their states high points in memorial of the fallen.

I grew up only 15 miles from the highest point in Indiana. However, it took me 30 years to get there. The summit was a great family experience with my Colorado cousins making the journey to the peak. We were mistaken by the false summit of the adjacent cornfield before we found the ID sign along the roadside. Wow! What a view of Indiana woodlands from the summit.

I liked the sign and the steps over the fence.

Wife and I summitted this beast in record time. This was our 4th high point, though high and point are not words I was thinking of at the time of summitting. More like fields, trees & bugs. Highpointing though does take you to areas of the country I know I would never have gone to see on my own. God's creation is good even in the flatlands.

First state highpoint acheived. This was the week after a failed attempt at Long's Peak so this was helped me feel better bagging this monster ;)

Route Climbed: Cart Road Date Climbed: 8/14/01  Sucess!

I took I-74 to I-70 just to grab this highpoint. Off I-70, I took the rollercoaster road to the highpoint area. I managed to find the highpoint in the area, and got my third highpoint in three days!
