| Scott | Page looks good | |
Voted 10/10 | I will make a chart showing the 11,000 foot peaks, but other than that, it looks like you have it covered. | |

Hasn't voted | Good. Lots of typos to weed out, and what's left then are nice but not essential add-ons, from botany or survey marks and to the lesser summits left undescribed. I any case it's largely an exercise in futility since this really isn't an SPers kind of a range. Well, you know how many summit logs and images are posted there :) | |

Hasn't voted | Not sure what the word means, Jacek. Skeeters? Of course in the height of mosquito season, one is better off with some DEET. West Nile virus is officially here, too. | |

Voted 10/10 | My father and his fellow gulag prisoners brought the word from Vorkuta so I thought it was Russian. I understood why they remembered the insects so well while I was pruning pines by a lake in Norway one summer. They're like tiny (1-2mm) flies, their swarms like black smoke, the blood seems to set rather slowly after a bite. | |

Hasn't voted | No, that's in proper Polish. English world is blackflies, and Russian is moshka. No, they aren't a problem in Utah, their main areas in the US are closer to Canadian border. | |

Hasn't voted | Thanks Tomek! It can only be so wild with 2 million people living an hour or two away. But even on a busy summer weekend, it is still easy to find hours of solitude in these mountains. | |
