Hasn't voted | Josh, The Topozone map seems to read 7115'. Sometimes I find it difficult to read the elevation numbers on USGS maps, so maybe the 1 looks like a 4??? Anyway, Beckey agrees with the 7,106'. :-) | |

Hasn't voted | I contacted the USGS to confirm the elevation of Ruth as there are two referenced heights. They are looking in to it, but I have not yet received a response with an answer. I'll post it when I do. | |
