Jessie -

I see this turning into the flat earth argument... no pun intended.  If this
area is as mountainous as you so claim, then why, praytell, does anyone who
intends to to any whitewater paddling, skiing, or climbing *at all* have
to drive at least 8 hours to get to West Va, Pa, Tenessee, Wisconsin, etc.
to find the first trace of anything higher than a good-sized building, or
steeper than a golf-course?

Hell, what are you foaming at the mouth about (aside from your rabies)?
The hills in Wisconsin dwarf what's found here!  As to comparing cases of
tunnel vision... why don't you get out of the computer center and look at
the horizon.... you may even find some hills...  Go to the Baraboo's if you
want to find someting nice.  You don't have to look the whole way over
here to try to find any.

You know, Wisconsin is a nice state.  Too bad they have Madison.
