I have, thus far, lived life in topographically challenged areas. I grew up in Columbus Ohio (780 ft above sea level), then I moved to Oberlin (730 ft). Upon graduation I travelled West to Minneapolis (840 ft). Howard Dean, and only Dean was able to convince me to move to Iowa. Des Moines beckoned with its building and elevation of 803 ft. In service of GHD, I next moved to Grand Rapids (on the forgotten western portion of the state) there I was greeted with blinding snow and an anemic 657 feet of elevation. Then I was off to the Alamo of the campaign: Madison wisconsin. Mad-town, while fantastic is still only 863 feet north of sea level.
780+730+840+803+657+863= 4,673.
Fort Collins elevation according to Rand McNally's "The Road Atlas 2003" tops out at 5,003 feet on the tall side of the ocean.
Sweet.
