This weekend/next week I’m kicking things into high gear. As of right now, I’m getting ready for a 400km round trip drive to attempt to claim the points and bonus points available for this challenge:
#TopOfTheWorldMa – 60 pts – travel to the highest road in the state/higest point reachable by car. Bonus points for altitude/remoteness.
I’ve had to rope in another vehicle to accomplish this task, because other than a helicopter , it is a little hard to get to......
Challenge wise, my challenges are spread out over a...very wide area...

*laughs in Californian accent*
I’m setting up my road trip maps right now and trying to find points along the way. Some of these are easier said than done for sure. My local state is enormous.

I'm hoping for remoteness

I’ve been slacking. I need to sit down with the list and map some things out. There are quite a few that aren’t far but 1-2 hours and I would like to only go that way once.
A lot of the ones where they need to be from the list in one of the links
are down south in the state where it is way too hot. those may either wait a while or just not get done.

20 of 23 I've grabbed have been in my town so far. I got another 3 more I can grab inside town limits. Most have been walkable.

Your “very wide area” is about the size of Los Angeles County though
Uninhabitable mountains could have fun roads on them though?

Sadly a long trip to truly fill out my sheet is unlikely. I have been taking alternate routes places which has helped me knock out a few things. I’ve tried to find the highest point in my state but have found three answer. I may just snag one and submit it. Thankfully it’s close to two locations that should satisfy some requirements.

Nice! We’re going a little more analog and haven’t decided how much of this stuff we’re going to do. The tallest point in the state is about 7 hours from here because high planes.

T o go to the highest point on a road or to the tallest building is nothing but a quick 1,000 mile round trip...

I’m struggling to find much, though planning out some destinations to try and pick up over
the weekend

Sorry... should say it is 7 hours one way . On the border with Colorado.

After Sunday, I am stuck in midtown Atlanta without a car until the rally is over. I’ve been knocking out as many as possible in the meantime.
I can get some, but most of the really hard ones are hours away on the border with Kentucky and would require a dedicated day trip to knock out like 4 or 5 in the same area.
I will be within walking distance of a whole lot of stuff, so I'll keep scoring points. Not looking forward to walking all the way to Krogg St Tunnel but I probably will anyways.

Just gotta go to Tioga Pass for highest point. Whole Lotta point worthy things up there too. I'm trying to stay local so only so many things I can get. Doing a trip tomorrow though to rack up a few hundred points!

I'm going on a stackable adventure tomorrow! Getting all the grab bags that I can and hopefully find a few of the other odds and ends. A fun way to spend the day for sure but damn the planning takes forever!

Still, you can put your car on jackstands and it count's as the highest point in your state

The planning is why I started the game early in the week instead of right before the weekend lol
