Six more highpoints soon

Becki and I are planning on highpointing soon. We may go the last weekend of September or the following weekend depending on Becki's plans for traveling to Reno to do some science. The plan is to do Kentucky, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Georgia all in about 3 or 4 days. I briefly contemplated trying to do these in a record time. The fastest 6 have been done in is 19 hours and 10 minutes by Nate & Steve Fuglestad and Chris Waggener according to the 2006 Highpointers Club Directory. I played around with Google maps for awhile trying to see what was the most efficient sequence to complete them is. The best I came up with was a 10.5 hours of driving between them. Of course this doesn't including the hiking time which isn't much for these. In this map I used the closest town to each of the highpoints so the times are a little off. Becki talked me out of this. It is probably best to enjoy them instead of rushing around. Maybe if we get bored in our later years will we shoot for a record time.

Disaster averted

I was playing around with Blogger last night and added some additional blogs (not up yet). I decided to delete on of them, but I accidentally deleted the highpointing blog!!! My first reaction was oh s*&% I have to start all over, but thanks for Google cache I just looked up the page in Google by typing in "cache:highpointing.blogspot.com". Then it was just a matter of copy and past and uploading photos again.
