Compared to PA

I'm sure they are all very high peaks. Thanks for your hard work.

Perspective is kind of funny. I worked the 1988 Olympics, and the Nordic events took place on the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains. There were majectic peaks all around, and you KNEW you were in the mountains. But the elevation at the ski centre is actually less than 4500 feet.

We have visited Park City Utah a few times, where the 2002 Olympics were held. It was like we were in the foothills - there were no really imposing peaks, just what appeared to be high sloped hills. But Park City is around 7300 feet.

It's a person's definition of a mountin is more a matter of difference in elevation than in height

OOPS

I do not think some of those files will work for in my haste I somehow deleted the period in Longitude and Latitude. Am correcting this as I type.
I forgot to convert from one system to another.
Lesson learned (I think), Do not watch a movie while doing this.
