Where I'm from

Pittsburgh area

• born in Greensburg
• grew up in Jeannette
• went to school in Pittsburgh, at Carnegie Mellon University
• lived in Moon Township
• now living in Coraopolis

What I travel for

• Seeing friends
• Unique destinations
• Curiosity
• Photography
• U.S. state highpoints

Although I'm not a mountain climber, I do want to visit the highpoints of every state. If I can't access it, a picture of the point or its environs will count as "visited." I'll call it "Highpointing Lite," or something similar. Is there a proper name for this? I'll keep track of those I have actually climbed as well as ones I've just visited or took a picture of. I just did Backbone Mountain, and supposedly it's one of the trickier ones.
