My pal says that in climbing mountains the chanpion is the one who has the most fun. We make our own rules. I suggest that whoever climbs all the high points that existed when (s)he was born has “finished tagging all the high points.” Admittedly, those born after March 1959 have a harder task.

I loved the article and I guess I can relate. My brother once said to me, ” Do you have to climb a mountain? Why can’t you just visit? ” when I was visiting him and other relatives in Pennsylvania a few years back. I picked up the Pennsylvania, Maryland and West Virginia high points on that trip and I also visited with family.
