Jim M member Registered: 11/23/03 Posts: 430 Loc: Kitsap Peninsula, WA	Lonerock You are right the elevation doesn't change much over time on topo maps. There is a mountain, you may have heard of it, near here called Mt. Saint Helens. I have noticed subtle changes in the topography since 1980. And Beckey has the altitude as 9677 feet which is absolutely wrong. _________________________ Jim M
