DavidDJohnson completed his 64th and final Colorado County Highpoint by summiting "Phoenix Peak" on Saturday Sept. 26th. Dave is the 25th person on LOJ to accomplish this feat!

Congratulations Dave! I enjoyed your dedication to the list these past few months. I hope there is still room on Dave C's axe for your autograph!!! And I hope you enjoyed the nightlife in Creede to celebrate!!!!!!!

Congratulations, indeed, David!

I believe he is the 37th person to complete them all (why aren't these people on LoJ where we can keep track of them?)

We're working out a time to meet with Covill, Mitchler, and Mr. Axe now... shooting for October 7th, and hoping to add another completer to the group by then.

Nice job, Dave!!!

Thanks, Luke! It was great doing some of these with you. Especially glad for the logistics on Bison Butte (thanks to Brian C for setting up Colorado Climbers and to Sue Personett for posting on Colorado Climbers). Getting that one without having to pay $300 or getting gored by a bison really set me up for success. Kips was still open when we finished "Phoenix", got a late start and did a very non-standard route up the mountain.

Thanks Susan for motivating me this summer and for a possible meet-up to sign the illustrious ice ax!

I've gotten to share the county hps with a lot of people on LoJ, and I'm grateful for all of those times.

Colorado P2Ks next, who's up for it?!

You rule Dave! It looks like you've got a few front range counties to complete next year. Get back to working on those!
