Hey John,Very bummed to find out that I did not get this national monument first....  Kidding!  Glad to see that somebody else made it out here.
Hey Andy,
I am leaving San Antonio tomorrow.  I was here just shy of 2 weeks for work at Fort Sam Houston.  I had low expectations for the Lone Star state, but was pleasantly surprised by the place.  San Antonio is not too bad and the weekend at Big Bend was amazing.  I drove back to San Antonio via Alpine, TX - looks like there would be some great hiking out there!  A previous trip through the very western tip of TX in 2010 for Franklin Mtn, Guadalupe Pk, & Carlsbad Caverns cave exploration was certainly enjoyable.  Stealthing ranch land high points just really isn't my thing.  I would take a repeat ascent of Jefferson County, WA or Teton County, WY over a hundred ranch stealth CoHPs any day!  
Quality over quantity,James BarlowSeattle, WA / Homeless, CA

I plan to revisit this county HP during convention week, probably on Wednesday or Thursday, as I may wish to join the National Monument group on Friday. See the trip reports on the website for descriptions of this 9257? HP. If interested, you may email me directly.

Copied below is Roy Wallen's cohp column which appears in the HP Club's quarterly magazine (along with snipets, photos, and miscellanea which I occasionally add from various sources). I post this column here for the record.

If you have any questions, comments, suggestions, or gold bars, please feel free to send them to Roy or myself.

Roy has submitted the column for the next issue, #113, which is due to the printers next week. Thank you Roy for pulling this together in a timely manner each quarter!

Milestones
State completions and other notable county highpointingactivities seem to have slowed since the last update  two issues ago due to lack of a column lastquarter. If you learn of anycompletions, no matter how late after the event, please send them along to yourcolumnist.
Helmut Linzbichler, a 50 completer, submitted input toyour editor to notify him (and all of us) on his completion of the Utah countyhighpoints on July 22 on Mt. Nebo, making him the first to finish the state inUtah County. Of note is that Helmut lives in Austria. His completion is anotherexample of moving to a finer level of highpointing by completing counties ofstates after all those pesky state highpoints have been visited.
John Wiley completed the county highpoints ofNew York on August 29. John finished theEmpire State on Lyon Mountain in Clinton County. We first learned of thisthrough a posting on Facebook with a great picture of John and a fire tower inthe background.
Jobe Wymore completed the county highpoints ofVermont on Killington Peak in Rutland County. His completion date was September 23, making him the 38th person to completethe Green Mountain state and the first to do so on Killington.
Word reached usthat Susan Paul and David Johnson completed the countyhighpoints of Colorado in September. Susan finished on Vermilion Peak in SanJuan County on September 19 and David completed on Gwynedd Mountain in MineralCounty on September 26. They are the only two to finish Colorado this year.
Brian Frankle completed the county highpoints ofOregon on October 4 in Lincoln County  alisvolat propriis. He is the 14thcompleter of the Beaver State.
Josh Carlson, often travelingunder the name Xander, completed the county highpoints of Indiana on October 7. He finished the Hoosier State in SpencerCounty and thereby became the third completer of Indiana.
Mike Baer completed his first all-state countyhighpointing adventure after reaching all five of Rhode Islands counties, witha finish atop Pocasset Hill, Newport County. Mike completed the Ocean State on October 13.
Bob Bolton hiked to Navajo County's Black Mesafrom the north on October 29, a cold and blustery morning with periods ofsprinkling rain. Then, on October 31, heclimbed Browns Peak, the Maricopa County highpoint, completing the Arizonacounty highpoints. This made Bob the55th completer of the Grand Canyon State.
Dan Baxter of Fresno (CA) finished thehighpoints of Connecticut on November 3 in Windham County. Dan is a native Californian who moved eastfor college and stayed for 26 years  and then moved back to California. His previous state completion is his nativestate and, for some reason, reports that the completion on North Palisade wasmore satisfying than the completion on Snow Hill.
Josh Carlson and Doug Melton each completed the county highpoints of Illinois. Joshfinished the Prairie State on November 7 in Bureau County, and Doug finished onNovember 25 in Perry County. They are the 6th and 7th completers of the state.Illinois has now been completed in four of its 102 counties.
Dick Ellsworth is to be congratulated on hiscompletion of the county highpoints of Minnesota. Dick finished on November 13 in SibleyCounty. He is the 3rd person to completethe North Star state.
We learned that Doug Melton completed the countyhighpoints of New Jersey, making him the 19th completer in that state. Doug finished the Garden State on BaldMountain in Bergen County on December 10.
Chuck Bickes completed the Rhode Island county highpointson January 7, his second state completion, after Maine in 2006. He reportsneeding three counties in Massachusettsand 5 in New Hampshire. Time to plan atrip to New England  Connecticut can be done in a day and Vermont has somevery nice peaks as county highpoints.
Doug Melton completed the county HPs of Missourion January 30 on Buffalo Knob in Pike County. He is the third person to complete the Show Me State. Missouri has now been completed in threecounties. Doug also completed Oklahomaon February 13 in Atoka County.
Denis Dean also completed Oklahoma the followingday, February 14, in Kingfisher County. Doug and Denis are the fourth and fifth people to complete Oklahoma. TheSooner State has now been completed in in four different counties.
Gary Suttle (1945-2015)
On July 28, 1993, atop North Palisades in Fresno Co., Gary Suttle became the first person tocomplete the California county highpoint list. This also led to writing thedefinitive guide to climbing Californias county highest points and set thestandard by which all other state county highpoint books would bemeasured.
A native to SanDiego, Gary received an MA in Geography from San Diego State University in1974. An avid hiker with an attractionto climbing mountains, he would wake up before dawn to climb Cowles Mountain inSan Diego. His ambitious project to identify and climb the highest mountain ineach of California&#39;s 58 counties led to the publication of his guidebook titledCalifornia County Summits byWilderness Press in 1994  from 828 Carpenter Hill in Sacramento Co. to14,491 Mt Whitney on Tulare & Inyo Co. borders.
Gary was alsoactive in local conservation projects. One was when he was in graduate schoolto stop a proposed road down Indian Canyon in Torrey Pines State Park. As a conservationist,he worked to convinced San Diego city parks officials to set aside a section ofHospitality Point on Mission Bay as a dedicated Native Plant Area to protect alocal plant species, Nuttalls Lotus.
Gary Suttle died athis home in Poway, California on March 14, after an eight-year struggle withbile duct cancer. He is survived by hiswife, sister, and two children.
