ver-achieving whacko to aspire to reaching all of the 3000+ county hps in the U.S - an ambitious and arduous undertaking. Like, after achieving each co hp quest, you stumble out of the hinterland, torn, scratched, bloody, dazed, dehydrated, exhausted, frozen or cooked (there are tales of broken bones), and arrive back at your car where dry clothes, a warm can of beer, and band-aids await. No matter though, because you get to check still another one off that list. Let's see...New Castle County, Delaware. But, wait, that's the same as the Delaware state high point. That's not so tough! - well, except for the road traffic there.
On our return from a Virginia trip in May05, we decided we ought to swing into D.C. to stand on the highest point in the "51st State." It seemed odd that the high point was the entire berm of the reservoir at Fort Reno. But, we did our "NOT!!!" summit shots (shown here) and stuck th
em into our HP-ing album. Since then, an accurate survey located the true, highest natural elevation which was nearby and on a not-too-exciting grassy knoll. At least reaching the berm was a climb of sorts.
