    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...

    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.

Pic of the week game

I had hoped to leave it pretty open for interpretation. What I really wanted to see were volcanoes, like Cabezon Peak In my pic, but I'm guessing not many folks have that photo opportunity. So some derivative of the word peak, which sounds the same spelled three different ways, I thought would give more freedom to be creative.
 
If the weather warms up a little, I could take a ride. Even have a gift card around here somewhere.

One of the things I love about this game is when someone nails the theme, but not in the way the creator intended.
Hats, roofs, and sailing vessels have peaks.
Peak can also be used as an adjective or verb.

On the contrary, I noticed. :oops:

Not sure if I was "blessed" or "cursed" with an editor's eye, but my fifth-grade lessons in spelling and grammar have taught me to notice mistakes in the majority of posts here on GSR and other forums I visit. Social graces learned a bit later in life have taught me that it's worthless to point out these mistakes, so I just shake my head, try to read was was intended and move on. :encouragement:

Not much need to look thru my Michigan pictures (havent been to U.P. on bike).
In the peak of winter, have been visiting daughter in San Diego, so looking thru those pictures.... here is something of a peak :

So last year Sandy, his brother and I were the PNW rally. Sandy and I rode up to Mt Rainier and camped the night, then said our goodbyes. My road took me the back way on the east side to St Hellens, on a road posted "proceed at your own risk". this photo was taken early on that road. You might say that we are getting a peek at a mountain that has lost it's peak.

THIS IS NOT AN ENTRY. It is just to show that "peak" is really open to interpretation. :-k

A "peak" is usually a high point. There is also mention of "flatlanders" and the interest in seeing what they might come up with.

This is hardly a sharp, high point as pictured by others, but it IS the highest point around. :-\\\

I might have something a bit more mountainous, but it might not have a bike in the picture.

Yep, our "mountains" are generally not tall, flat topped, not pointy type. I'm still looking thru pics.

Great shot Vince, great trip. This was taken of Mt. Rainier shortly after leaving camp and heading home. No cars in the parking lot either. It was totally full of cars and people the afternoon before.

We only have a few distinguishing "peaks" here in Vermont but we do have our namesake (Vert-Mont = Green Mountain; in french) which is a gorgeous mountain range that spans North to South. Here's a shot of Mt Horrid (southern tip) and her sisters, the Green Mountains. Taken in The Champlain Valley in a town called Leicester.
