I'm jealous!

I thought this was a fun article, and I liked the tone of "these folks are a bit crazy, but admirable too." I'm sure some of the folks featured must be VFTT regulars.....

I bet many of us wish we had the time and fortitude to do this! The 48 alone seem kind of tame now, eh?

If I lived in northern NE, I'd be adding to my lists. Since I'm a bit south, I can only bag a couple per year. It really makes me look forward to going to the Whites and enjoy the time I have in the region. 12/48 in 4 years isn't too bad. I just better keep active in the next 10 years, in order to finish.

I have officially begun my grid quest -- though at this rate I will finish in about 13 years.

Beaten by a few hours.
