[Boatanchors] POPULARELECTRONICS MAGAZINES

[Carl]

I was referring to New Mexico mountains Dave, at least the ones I saw. 
They were gorgeous in their own stark primeval way especially at 
sunset/sunrise. I also took a put-put Cessna light plane ride up to 
Denver and back to pick up some needed spares and that was all extremely 
enjoyable views.

Well if you are talking about starting at a base of 5-7000' and then 
looking at 10-14K mountains I consider them not much different than the 
White Mountains out here where its a short distance to the ocean coastal 
plain.

My parents took a vacation to NH when I was 12 or 13 and we took the Cog 
Railway up Mt Washington. Since then I cant count the number of times 
Ive been to the top since moving here in 67. Either hiking when I was 
younger, the train, or usually driving an antique/vintage or custom/hot 
rod car during a club excursion. I never tire of the view from the 
summit.

It was that vacation that decided I wanted out of the NYC/LI area.
