HOW LOW CAN YOU GO?
In the U.S....Low

Hey, we're not talking about some low-life cad here. No, no...geographically low, volcanic conduits excluded, but low. Around here you can start with Death Valley, California as a first and lowest interior conquest at -41 ft. This also happens to be where all the tourists show up.

You, a tourist? Anyway, continue with the list of all the others visited and recorded by Jack Parsell, mountaineer, state high pointer, tri-pointer, and low-pointer. Jack's the pioneer who first conceived and documented the latter two in the form of comprehensive guides containing hard-earned, valuable info.

While U.S. Low-Pointing won't take you all the way to China, "The cHinaman" runs the little-known Lowpoints web site. Here, read the inspiring Jack Parsell interview for some great insight into Jack's adventurous life accomplishments. Quite a guy, now in his mid 80's, he'll be at the upcoming HP ' 06 Konvention in Asheville, NC.

By the way: Be There! TTT
