  2. I know the San Gabriel Mountain Range like the back of my hand. I spent all of my wonder years on the mountains and canyons there.

    Manker Flats is my home away from home. I can live off the mountain if I wanted to.

    It takes a special breed of people like you to be a mountaineer.

  3. wonder what the highest point in Florida is? No mountains there so maybe highest hill or land elevation?

    Anyway, best of luck in reaching your goals.

  4. Florida is 50th rank (lowest peak) and 345 feet.

    Check website at www.highpointers.org. There is excellent information.
