John: Now that you have got the county maps looking good, I wonder if something similar might be done with the Divide Peaks. This is a group that would also lend itself well to graphical representation.
Ideally, it would allow people to see the "chains" of divide peaks they have done and which peaks they need to extend or join their chains together. For example, I noted today that getting the 2 12ers west of Berthoud Pass would allow me to connect my divide peaks in the Golden Bear-Pettingell mini-chain with those in the Cupid-Argentine chain.
There may be too many peaks to put the names on the map. I envision something like triangles, dots or circles to represent peaks. These would be connected by a line representing the divide itself. When a peak is completed, the peak symbol is filled in or changes colors. When neighboring ranked peaks are completed, the intervening line also changes color. Or something like that....
If this doesn't draw in the crowds then I don't know what will! :)
