A glance at topozone.com shows Coburn at 1020 feet and those ridges
around topping out about 1550 feet. It's not the height but the
steepness, at least that's what I tell myself as I lay sucking in pine
needles trying to catch my breath.



i was interested in vince's statement that seemed to imply weather and
temps were related to changes or variety of elevation around penns. i
didn't remember the exact elevations around penns, but i didn't think
there was enough to really be a major factor. but, i'm sure a 500 foot
change would have some effects. still, i've been fishing at the base of
grandfather mountain (around 2500 feet) and then gone up to the summit
(about 6000 feet), and there was a patent weather change.
