Posted: Sun Apr 04, 2010 9:50 pmI was going to scream if the legitimate name for Alaska's high point did not register as correct. It was satisfying to type it and have it work.
The highest one I missed was Tennessee. And I still don't know it (or care much), even though I read it just 5 minutes ago!
Of the points lower than 6684, I got NH, NE, KS, MI, and FL. I know NH because it's obvious. I know NE, KS, and FL because of their comical value. The only reason I know MI is because I grew up in that state. But I never bothered to drive 800 miles round-trip to bag its high point which is 150 feet lower than where my house in NV is now, even though I'm still at a pretty low elevation out here.
That's still only 21 out of 51, though.
But maybe I deserve 21.5. I was trying to remember the name of that lump in OK, so I started typing, and the high point for KY popped up before I could finish!

Flat states bite.
