7000 foot bucket list done

Ok, that's done.

i have been on the seven named seven thousand foot peaks in the Black Hills: Harney, Terry, Crooks Tower, Crows Nest, Bear, now Odakota and Green.


Odakota Mountain just got a little higher than its listed 7205 feet



a little note in a time capsule at the summit where visitors with pen or pencil have recorded their impressions of South Dakota's second highest peak

    The aspen leaves are as red in some places as the dead pine needles. How 'bout SW Montana?

    Actually, there are eight 7,000 foot summits in the Black Hills. Sylvan Peak, the official highpoint of Custer County is 7,000 feet exactly. Check it out on Lists of John.
