After New Jersey, we were hoping to close out 2009 with the highpoints of Pennsylvania, Maryland and West Virginia. However, the North American Blizzard of 2009 altered our plans.

Shortly after leaving High Point, NJ, the snow started to fall:


The next morning we found the road to the summit of Pennsylvania impossible to drive due to snow:


We were close, so we decided to stop at the Flight 93 National Memorial:

The flag above marks the impact site.



Not able to make all the planned highpoints because we were in the middle of a historic snowstorm, we decided to buy a sled at a small hardware store to have some fun in the snow:






We drove back to Jacksonville because of all the cancelled flights (we didn't want to miss Christmas):

Ebright Azimuth

Kellisa's 14th State Highpoint

Ebright Azimuth, DE
448ft.

December 2009

Hello. We were in Delaware.

The pictures below don't do the late December weather any justice. It was a lot colder and windier than it looks, especially since we woke up in sunny Florida just a few hours earlier. We were met by Doreen "Queen of Ebright Azimuth" Kupchick as we were parking our car in front of her house. We shared our highpoint totals and Doreen was very interested in Kellisa's story. After a nice chat, we signed the summit register that Doreen keeps in her house. Doreen was kind enough to take the picture of me holding Kellisa at the top of Delaware.
