Three intrepid hikers already created a complete U.S. Highpoints page. For some reason, when I write comments, I can never get the URL feature to work, but the page is THIS PAGE
Oh, these are your "completed" highpoints. I didn't see that at first. I don't know what the rules are on this, since this is a new feature to this website. However, I still stand by my vote.
I didn't want this page to be confused with our Highpoints Page. Also, many people have their own highpoints site on the internet, including myself. However, my concern is that if one person puts up a personal highpoints page on summitpost, so will 50 other people, and it will be very confusing, especially if they try to link up with the main highpoints pages. That could create all sorts of problems. So I am starting my objection with this page.
Tough tata if you're confused. Like you say, there are many resources better than summitpost for highpointers. If this guy wants his personal album, it fits right along with the non-hero mtn shots, and trucks on roads stuff. He who votes low on legitimate material should not whine when he gets low votes on his own stuff.
You might want to change your camera settings to get rid of the date stamp. I used to put it on my pics and now I think it takes something away from the picture. If you really want to put a date with the picture, put it in the caption.
Nice album.
Later, Rob
I agree, and have recently begun to either remove the stamp during editing, or taking it off the camera. As you can see, I've had problems in the past with the stupid stamp (all of my ND, SD, and NE highpoints have the WAY WRONG date)
You have some nice photos. I don't vote on photos with a date stamp. The date annoys me. Welcome to the world of highpointing. It allows me to see the US and to climb mountains. If I lived in CA, CO, NY, or NH I am sure I would have different goals, but it is a good excuse to visit states all over the USA.
I was just reading about you and your trip to the east. I hope to do something like that, but in late September to catch the fall colors. Are you a member of the Highpointers? I highpoint for the same reason you do, to culture myself, and see beautiful country that I wouldn't normally see and meet people I would never meet. (so far I liked Steve Koski, Indian Country Sports, in L'anse MI Who tried to help me reach Arvon, and gave great directions and help, but too much snow had fallen to attempt a summit)
I was recently in WI over spring break to climb Timms Hill, (also on the page) and have nothing but positive regard to those in WI. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. I dont like your 55mph highways though (BOOOORING!!!) But a great trip, and good cheese.
The date stamp problem I have remedied, because I agree it takes away from the picture, and CANNOT be removed like I thought. Some of my duck pictures would be way better without the stamp in my opinion. Anyway, some of my newer pics are free of the date stamps and are awaiting your opinion.
Thanks for your comment! Borah was only my latest, as long as there is an SP, I will add more that will hopefully beat even my Borah Pics. Thanks Again...MIke
