Their map paints Franklin County, Washington with the same low natural amenities brush as most of the mid-west. They might have missed on this one.

State Completions

Recently Andy Martin and I tried to update the roster of state completers.  We added about 40 people who had recorded their accomplishments on Peakbagger but had not mentioned them in this forum.  The majority of those completions were in the northeast, especially of Connecticut and Rhode Island, and the rest were of western states.  For those of you who are reading this but are using Peakbagger to record your ascents, I would greatly appreciate it if you would make an announcement here also, or e-mail me directly.  This is the more important now that state completions are not being recorded on the COHP Web site.  (I hope that that is a temporary condition.)  And if you know of anyone else in that category, please ask him or her to either post here or e-mail me.  If you do not want me to make an announcement, I will honor that request.

Jim Retemeyer and Adam Jantz completed the county HPs of UT on the same day, albeit in different counties.  They finished the Beehive State on July 28, 2015.  Jim completed on Mt. Waas in Grand County, and Adam on the Kane County liner.  They are, respectively, the 58th and 59th Utah completers.

Jobe Wymore, back on the county highpointing scene after an absence of several years, completed Oregon on Red Mtn. in Baker County.  He is the 13th person to finish the Beaver State, and he did so on August 2, 2015.

Gerry Pennington completed the county HPs of Nevada on August 11, 2015.  He finished the Silver State in Lyon County.  He is the 47th person to complete Nevada.

Hearty congratulations to all!

Thanks to Andy Martin and Laura Newman for some of this information.
