NEW YORK CITY GATHERING
Highpointers Get Bitten By The Big Apple

On Saturday, April 29th, 15 highpointers showed for Roger Rowlett's mini-gig across from Ground Zero. The group included attendees from Alabama, Oklahoma, Alaska, and the Netherlands. All lunched at the South West NY Restaurant, 2 World Financial Center, an impressive, modern, spacious array of restaurants and shops.

Afterwards, Roger planned to underground the group to Brooklyn's high point in Green-Wood Cemetery. Getting "checked out" of our too-popular lunch spot, however, consumed some time. Add to this subway tie-ups, including a broken water main and general maintenance, conducted on weekends, and you've just blown the Plan B reroute - the cemetery closes at 4PM. Ergo, the game was called owing to unforseen Big Apple delays.

Hey, Roger, to be safe, next time let's make it an early breakfast gathering and there'll be time for the Brooklyn and Staten Island highpoints even if we have to hike there. TTT
