Actually, I can see peaks from my office window too. OTOH, though, the standard of living in Montana is lower, lower wages, higher property tax, but I happily take the trade-off for great scenery!

If you look at my kayak page, you can see some of the scenery in central Montana near where I grew up (I'm in western Montana now). It's not quite as beautiful, but it's definitely not ugly.

> Are those GPS plots on your maps? If so, what did you use to plot them?

No, I just scanned the maps in from paper maps and used PhotoDeluxe to draw in my route. (the route definitely isn't as accurate as yours - probably accurate to within 100 yds.) I probably shouldn't be "re-publishing" the maps, but it's just a small section, and I'm not selling anything.
