It looks like each hex has the min value in each hex polygon, then the hex and Z values are all exaggerated by some postive N value.

Either way, it's damn cool!

I'll take the 18th! #ParkChat

Um, ok. ;) Give me a hard date when we get closer. And some hints on the 'proper' way of executing this honorable task.

It's all in your head. Don't lock yourself in the "what-if prison."

Continuous days of rain, never getting a chance to dry out your gear. Not fun.

Losing a shoe. Having a deer walk off with a salty and tasty trail runner or two. I'm freaky about keeping my shoes tied down or in my tent if not cowboy camping.

Hike 20-30 miles a day. A cougar could piss on your forehead and you wouldn't wake up.

#PCT in Washington, 7 trail miles south of Cispus Pass. 2:00AM or so, was awoken by a loud, thunderous noise my groggy head couldn't wrap around. Dirt, duff flying all over me.

Something spooked a herd of about 70 elk. Nearly, got trampled. Dozens of bear encounters in life, but this!
