    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

High Point Monument.

Over the summer when Mr. Steve came down from NY we went past the monument, and I felt bad for begging off going in (tight expenses). My co-pilot and I paid an off-season visit recently, so I thought I'd post a couple pics to hopefully satisfy his curiosity.

You can go up into the obelisk during the season (I've never been inside).

Sun and temp are getting low, time to head back!

A little bit of the view from the highest place in NJ.

Great place, I love high point. The two lane hill roads going up are a great ride and the short trip to hawks next make a great route.
 
We buzzed The Hawk's Nest, but it had only one lane open and construction lights metering traffic at each end. Major renovations going on, well into autumn.

I'm sorry Steve, am I in trouble? You were generous as it was.

No more trouble than normal, I reckon.

There are others, but I don't have them loaded in to Photobucket yet.

Yep Florida is not going to give anyone a nose bleed, that's for sure. I forget how high High Point is, 1400 feet or something like that? Not enough for high altitude muffins I bet.

Any elevation is high enough for muffins. Even Death Valley.

You have a package in the mail, by the way.....

Not quite. The official elevation of Leesburg is 95 feet, according to Wikipedia.

Many people think that Lake Wales is the highest, because of the botanical garden that is built on "the highest point in the area". (It is one of the highest points in peninsular Florida.) The elevation is 295, but the highest point is 350 miles northwest of there.
