County Highpointers

I stumbled across this website the other day: http://cohp.org/ . Taken from wikipedia.org, "Highpointing is the sport of visiting (and finding) the point with the highest elevation within some area (the "highpoint"), for example the highest points in each county within a state. It can be considered a form of peak bagging." County Highpointers is the "most prolific highpointing organization". Their goal as a club is reach the highest point in all 3,142 U.S. counties.

This all appeals to me as a (not so active anymore) backpacker and outdoorsman. In fact, I moved to an area of the country surrounded by mountains. I'm not quite sure why I haven't heard of the County Highpointers before, although the concept of trying to climb the highest summits is not foreign to me. I was definitely surprised, though, how detailed and organized their effort is.

Looks like a fun hobby.
