thanks raybo--i actually had read your diary from another post, and its what made me want to ask this very question! I saw you did 11,000 feet in one day and that just seems insane to me. On my last tour I did a 90 mile day with 5000 feet of gain, and that was "the limit" for me.

I will check out that mapping site and see what it says. My Dad has a huge map collection also so I'm sure I could check there--wanted to see if anyone had any firsthand experience though.
