Mount Davis, PA, US Highpoint #14, 8 March 2004

Mount Davis, Pennsylvania lies at 3,213 feet MSL and is ranked #33 in elevation among US Highpoints. This would be my 11th highpoint of 2004. Mount Davis despite being over 3k feet is also a drive-up to a lookout tower deep in Amish country. Davis would be my second high point of the day after Ebright Azimuth in Delaware. I followed an Amish buggy for awhile, and once I got closer to the summit the roads continued to get worse in terms of ice and snow. Luckily I was driving Jamie, my 1998 Subaru Outback that would prove instrumental on this portion of my trip, where I’m now heading down the Appalachins to bag high points all the way back to Missouri via Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi.

From here I would head to Hoye Crest Maryland
